Johnny Jewel loves to give away audio candy like it’s Halloween! This weekend the Glass Candy producer premiered a new edit of the track “The Possessed” at a Paris fashion show. The original track is on After Dark 2, the Italians Do It Better label sampler featuring Chromatics, Mirage, Appaloosa, Glass Candy, and more, but the extended runway edit is currently available for streaming and download from Johnny Jewel’s Soundcloud page. This slow motion synth-pop thriller features an extended vocal soliloquy from Glass Candy’s Ida No in which she plunges a dagger deep into the heart of our cultural obsession with Self and it’s voyeuristic display and consumption thru fashion, media, etc. The lyrics are definitely worth a read, so they are included below, and keep your eyes peeled as a video for this track is on the way!
