The final single to be lifted from Hardkandy’s fourth studio album, Pure Fantasy, is the spaced out soulful masterpiece that is the title track. It’s also the second release from the album to feature Mamas Gun and Young Gun Silver Fox vocalist, Andy Platts.
Reminiscent of classic Lewis Taylor, Pure Fantasy is a sereen slice of laid back wonky psychedelic soul. It’s a track that takes you to the darker side of Hardkandy, discussing modern issues like online bullying. Andy’s soaring vocals telling tales of hurt, rejection but also of forgiveness.
