最多人聽過的應該是《666》這張甜滋滋的專輯，但在上一張的《Mystic Hits》中他們的 Psycho Pop 帶著一些毛邊、一些歪斜感，60 年代的迷幻搖滾、民謠配上像是 Flaming Lips、海灘男孩 Brian Wilson 那樣實驗流行的怪奇橋段，比起後來的專輯更毒，更容易上癮。
Helping to spearhead a revival of neo-psychedelic pop, California s Sugar Candy Mountain emerged in the early 2010s fusing sunny, retro sounds with lush, sophisticated composition. Ranging from lo-fi experimentation to vibrant Tropicália, early releases like 2013 s Mystic Hits soon gave way to a brighter, synth-driven brand of psychpop on 2018 s Do Right. Sugar Candy Mountain s evolution continued with their eclectic fifth album, Impression, in 2021. The band initially began oin 2010 as the recording project of Oakland-based musician Will Halsey. From early on, his partnership with collaborator Ash Reiter yielded a unique sound blending classic 60s West Coast psychedelia with pastoral folk and pulling inspiration from pop experimentalists like Brazil s Os Mutantes, the Flaming Lips, and Brian Wilson. The band s self-titled 2011 debut drew largely from Halsey s early, more lo-fi recordings. By the time of 2013 s Mystic Hits, Sugar Candy Mountain had evolved into a fully fledged live group with Halsey and Reiter at the helm. The album also expanded on their Brazilian influences and was partially recorded in São Paulo. Reissued for it is 10th Anniversary, Mystic Hits returns to vinyl under their newly minted home record label, Sugar Candy Mountain Records.
