The Candles: Between the Sounds

"Josh Lattanzi has made a pretty good career out of being a hired gun in the studio and on the road. Just over two years ago, after being an integral part of creating the sophomore album for Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr., Lattanzi — a Guilford native — was inspired to write a batch of Americana-tinged indie rock songs, make his own album and assemble a five-piece band (featuring three fellow Connecticut natives) to support it. The Candles’ debut, Between the Sounds, was released in April to a fair amount of positive press and a subsequent increase in responsibility. 'Every aspect of playing in a band has changed,' Lattanzi says with a laugh. 'I can be an opinionated guy. From an observational standpoint, playing in all these other bands, I’d be like, "I like how they’re handling this thing but maybe not so much these other areas." Now we’re on a small label and touring in a band and the economics are important'" (Brian Baker, "Candles in the Wind," New Haven Advocate, 7/8/10, p. 35).
