Well, one wishes radio sounded even half as sweet as the cotton-candy swirls the dreamy space-pop combo whips up in a whirlwind of mid-tempo grooves. (Perhaps it's fitting, then, that that song closes with her noting, "Just for you.")

The Austin, Texas, quintet comes packaged from the same producer of The Octopus Project, Maserati and Explosions in the Sky, so suffice to say if any of those bands are permanent fixtures to your iTunes playlists, you'll want to check out Candi, even if the songs lean more toward the mainstream than those acts' sometimes sprawling electronic improv-jams.

The one exception can be found at album's end, "The Weather Is Here Wish You Were Beautiful," which starts slowly, at a Percocet-hitting-the-bloodstream pace, as it artfully crafts a soup of Moog-peppered goodness. So long do the instruments take hold that one wonders if Constant will ever come into contact. Nearly two minutes into the seven-minute wonder, she does. —Rod Lott
