Today Pacific Northwest indie rock project Candy Cigarettes announces the forthcoming album Horse Lungs, out September 23. Horse Lungs marks his first release in six years. It’s a triumphant return to the scene, with an album that’s more musically complex and lyrically cutting, drawing on themes of isolation and growth, as Mueller gained more confidence pushing the boundaries in his songwriting. On Horse Lungs, not everything follows a formula; Mueller finds more freedom in throwing it out the window.
