Do Right is the followup to Sugar Candy Mountain's critically acclaimed 2016 album, "666". Part travelogue, part response to the current, turbulent climate, Do Right gives voice to the deeply nested anxiety of modern times and attempts to offer a balm. Nature, it seems, is where the band often goes to calibrate its' moral compass so frequently upended by the daily news-cycle. Sugar Candy Mountain invites you to join them on this journey singing "There's a quiet place I go when I need to fifind my way/ There's a quiet place inside/ Come on in just knock and a door will open". Musically, the band remains rooted in 60's and 70's rock, with their signature honey sweet vocals. "Do Right" leans more heavily on synthesizer than the band's previous records, lending the album a more modern feel. The album pairs the ephemeral orchestral arrangements of The Beach Boys with the pop sensibility of George Harrison on "All Things Must Pass". Oscillating between the hazy psychedelic pop of Mild High Club, the driving energy of Dungen and the danceable familiarity of The Supremes Do Right is a perfect cocktail of old and new, imploring the listener to take a ride into the sunset with Sugar Candy Mountain.RECOMMENDED IF YOU LIKE The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Tame Impala.
