BRAND NEW ALBUM ‘PURE FANTASY’ OUT NOW!!! 
 After a 12-year hiatus, Hardkandy are back with their fourth studio album, Pure Fantasy. ( Out May 2022) Crafted over two years, the album has been something of a labour of love for the main writer and producer, Tim Bidwell, based on the underlying concept: what would I have done back then, if I’d known what I know now? 
 With influences ranging from the classic sounds of Marvin Gaye to the down-tempo carboot soul of Nightmares on Wax, Hardkandy’s new material takes the listener on a seductive and sonorous journey where harmonious melodies meet hypnotic rhythms. Fans will still recognise the signature cut and paste Hardkandy sound, just reimagined for 2022 with real musicians playing real instruments 
 Meanwhile check out the ‘Inspiration for the nation’ playlist to see what Tim has been listening to for positive album viiiiiiiibes! 
 Hardkandy aka Tim Bidwell has been busy as a producer since the last album, working with the likes of Lucy Rose, Matthew And The Atlas, Memorial, Kate Walsh and many more at his Brighton based Clockwork Owl Studio. However, inspired by the increasing number of fans on all streaming platforms, Tim thought it was time to dust off his Hardkandy shoes and gathered a squad of talented musicians to work on some new music. https://www.instagram.com/hardkandymusic
