The story of Candle (later known under the name of Carmine) started in September 1990. The band was originally formed by Isabelle Andrès and Julien Retaillaud : Isabelle had already played in a few bands in Paris (but none of them very famous) and Julien was composing, alone in his small dorm room, until he eventually decided to look for other musicians with whom he could share his ideas about music.
For a whole year, CANDLE remained a simple "duo". Isabelle and Julien signed with LITHIUM, a French record company and recorded a mini-CD called "Beginning Blue" in November 1991. Described by the Melody Maker as "gloriously scratchy, blurred, stoned, hazy, disorienting, claustrophobic and enchanting", this EP attracted attention not only in France but also in England. It showed that, even influenced by Anglo-Saxon music (among which Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine to name two of them), a French groupe could still have a personal style, and be casually startling and surprising.
Just after the release of their "Beginning Blue" EP, Isabelle and Julien finally managed to find two other musicians who were able to understand and share their ideas and also to melt into the alchemy of CANDLE. Then, they prepared their first LP. Discovering that a Scottish band was already called CANDLE, they decided to change their name in CARMINE. In the meantime, they decided to create their own record company, KARINA SQUARE, and released their first album "Visual" under their label in May 1993. With this LP, CARMINE intended to express their own sensitivity and feelings in their music ; they have accomplished it with this very personal 12 titles album. These songs, "fleeding and fascinating as drops of quick silver" according to a journalist, are conceived as the expression of interior images, whence the album title. The ambiance of Visual has been described by the French press as "bewitching and disturbing", "quiet and oppressive", on the verge of a waking dream.

We are the few, the proud...The Shoegazers!
Music for the few, not the many...
We are the scene that celebrates itself
i love this hidden gems series. Finding some really cool bands that otherwise probably wouldn't get exposure again
Love your pick!! Vapor Trail is is perfection!
Fun fact that the girl featured in the album now works as a COO in a musical digital media company called Believe.
What is a COO?
@@michaelcraig9449 Maybe Chief Operating Officer
The intro to the first song alone is absolutely addicting.
Addictive*
My Autobiography A Fanfic Thanks, I am now a changed man.
Changing*
leskvin80 cheesy*
This band had a beautiful vision of the music they wanted to create
I never thought after so many years I would find the mix that took me down the rabbit hole.
Difference Engine would fit perfectly in this series. Start with "5 Listens."
This what I cry to honestly but also get that feeling of hope idk like it’s just makes me u feel like your unique
The bass player reminds me of Majesty Crush. And, have you noticed how badass shoe gaze band drummers are??
strange that Sonic Youth would cite them as an influence in the early 90's when they sound like late 80's Sonic Youth
LOVE
THIS
CHANNEL
with the look in her eyes i had to hear
Supposedly she runs an online gambling site these days. Figures.
anthonymoroneygodzil what? Lmao
Just amazing ..I knew Carmine like very few French guys but did not even know Candle
If you're still interested, we've just published the original 8 tracks demo on Bandcamp : candlefr.bandcamp.com/album/beginning-blue-uncut (+ one gig at Orsay/Paris in 1992)
the last track reminds me sonic youth for some reason
This is really awesome. The last song particularly had a great SY vibe to it. Thanks for all the awesome recs!
Holy crap, Burning Blind is powerful. It feels like it would fit very well in an emotional film scene that relies on imagery, body language, and music to convey what's happening between characters.
a lot of this music is very cinematic
The drum fills in the first song work so well
Lucie vacarme is worth listening too, they became later Diabologum, for those french sounds. Several tape labels flourished in those days in France.
Candle and Carmine were brilliant, and super nice.
I love this so good!
the last track sounds exactly like sonic youth and i love it
Awesome rare tracks and shoegaze very cool...
Before the world ended.

F*cking sick
Damn... now that girl is a businesswoman.

AggressiveNegotiator well shit

Nice, they sound a bit like Light / Dark from Birmingham.
Just Wonderful.
the intro to beginning blue is so sick

@@alex-iw2ho bob haircut
LOVE IT ARIGATO !
amazing
excellent,bien inspiré de Slowdive
Where can i find more of this band?
i love it
Carmine was a great band. French noisy-noise bands from this age was interesting. Sister Iodine, for example.
Merci pour le compliment, Vento ! The original demo is available here : candlefr.bandcamp.com/album/beginning-blue-uncut + a 1992's live...
beautiful :)
Le premier titre est l'archétype de la power pop puissante et incisive comme on l'aime !
The guitars sounds makes it sounds like Agalloch for moments
I love Agalloch
Malam hari dengerin lagu ini enak bangets!
I liked Carmine. Also looking for the french band Lighthouse.
The crash used sounds like breaking glass. It's interesting.
Adoro el shoegaze
Piolaa
Sounds like a twee shoegaze crossover.
Crossover twee lol
Tweegaze
Im trying to figure out The chords to this so i can Bring it to live and cover it

starts like neu, ends like ride

What she sees.... what he sees
Fuck man this is what Boards of Canada Play By Numbers must've sounded like.
For anyone really interested : candlefr.bandcamp.com/album/live-orsay-1992
ISabelle reviens !
Elle revient partiellement à l'occasion de la publication de la démo entière (8 morceaux) : candlefr.bandcamp.com/album/beginning-blue-uncut
kind of think i could digest some #souvlaki for there aren't many bands doing or having had done this and doing it well, the percussion seems a little too over produced and i think of #broadcast and #melodysechochamber although no where near as poppie, i'm not for sure on the shoegaze to post-rock as though this'd go farther if he had face scruff
Buy/Download links?
