David Candy

''Play Power'' is the only album from the fictional musician David Candy, aka Ian Svenonius.

Three of the tracks, "Listen to the Music," "Bad Bad Boy," and "Lullaby From 'Rosemary's Baby'" are cover versions from obscure film soundtracks. "Listen to the Music" is from the 1968 teen comedy-satire ''Wild in the Streets'', "Bad Bad Boy" is a cover from the 1967 British film ''Privilege'', and "Lullaby from 'Rosemary's Baby' " is a cover from Roman Polanski's ''Rosemary's Baby''.

The instrumentals on the album are reminiscent of 60's pop and psychedelic music, while Svenonius/Candy's vocal delivery is primarily spoken word in the same vein as beat poetry. The lyrical content of the vocals is often a pseudo-intellectual rant, meandering between overly-heady topics such as historical materialism, Suprematism, and the "rampant public licentiousness" of São Paulo, Brazil. The album was written and performed by Ian Svenonius, Jez Butler, John Austin and Matt Hulse. Provided by Wikipedia
