Caandides was created in Paris in 2011 by four musicians and two graphic designers. Formed in Art Schools in Paris and London, the members have been developing pop songs with electronic and psychedelic tones. They used those skills in remixing tracks from Concrete Knives (Bella Union), Fiction (Moshi Moshi), and more.

In 2012 they released their first EP "Before The Art", which was particularly well received in France. They are now working on their debut LP around the concept of escapism.

Their music is contemporary, pop and experimental, with a prominent taste for bended melodies.
