On CandyStriped Legs is a Dutch / English musical, artistic and cultural collaboration based in Utrecht, Netherlands, formed in late 2015.
The duo creates dark introspective music that Ferments Post Punk guitars with Shoegaze influences and Death Rock aesthetics. The cold, edgy musical landscape lays on a bed of deep bass, hooked and woven into repetitive, mechanical and melancholic beats. Eerily whispered spoken word delivers Dutch poetry and prose, juxtaposed with English lyrics That Are propelled by powerfully sung lines That Penetrate the music's bleak atmosphere.
They have been described as an intoxicating mixture of Joy Division, Sylvia Plath, Will Burroughs, Spinvis, HRTK, Chelsea Wolfe, Ruby Throat, early Cure, Cocoteau Twins, Siouxsie and the Banshees and How To Destroy Angels.
On CandyStriped Legs self released Their single "Merel" and more recently the demo "Who's afraid". They are currently playing clubs, venues and festivals across the Netherlands. In between road testing Their debut material, they have been writing and recording new tracks that will be due for release in 2017.
On CandyStriped Legs is:
Sterre Marree: Vocals / Bass / Spoken Word
Sean Fox: Guitars / Drum Machine / Effects

On CandyStriped Legs is een muzikale, artistieke en culturele samenwerking tussen een schrijfster/zangeres uit Utrecht en een songwriter/multi-instrumentalist uit Bristol, en is eind 2015 opgericht in Utrecht.
On CandyStriped Legs maakt duistere, atmosferische muziek waarin Postpunk gitaarlijnen, Shoegaze invloeden en Deathrock esthetiek versmelten. Het bleke, prikkelende muzikale landschap ligt op een bed van diepe baslijnen, verweven met repetitieve, melancholische, mechanische beats. Fluisterachtige spoken word en Engelstalige songteksten met krachtige zanglijnen doorboren de kille atmosfeer van de muziek.
On CandyStriped Legs kan worden omschreven als een bedwelmende mengeling van Joy Division, Sylvia Plath, Will Burroughs, Spinvis, HRTK, Chelsea Wolfe, Ruby Throat, early Cure, Cocoteau Twins, Siouxsie and the Banshees and How To Destroy Angels.
On CandyStriped Legs heeft de single “Merel” en recentelijk de demo “Who's Afraid” uitgebracht, en speelt momenteel shows in clubs, podia en festivals in Nederland. Daarbij werken ze aan een nieuw demo-album, dat uit zal komen in 2017.
