Candy Claws was an American dream pop group formed in Fort Collins, Colorado. It was formed in 2007 by Kay Bertholf and Ryan Hover, who shared interests in "electronics, droning shoegaze rock, and classic psychedelic pop."[2]

History[]

In 2009, the band released their debut album, In the Dream of the Sea Life, which was inspired by Rachel Carson's book The Sea Around Us. Originally released by Wave Magic label, it was re-released by Irish independent label Indiecater Records and earned enthusiastic reviews from the international music press. In 2010, the Twosyllable Records released the band's follow-up album, Hidden Lands, which was inspired by Richard M. Ketchum's The Secret Life of the Forest. During this time, Candy Claws also assembled an expanded eight-piece touring band for live performances.[2] The band's third album, Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time, was released in 2013.[1]

In 2014, Ryan and Karen formed a new band, Sound of Ceres, featuring the members of The Apples in Stereo and The Drums.[4] The band released their debut album, Nostalgia for Infinity in 2016.[3]
