“As we stepped out into the light, a little bruised and battered, but still ok, we blinked and tried to focus then looked at each other and laughed out loud,” Yo-Landi said about completing the record.
Finally they arrived at Mount Ninji & Da Nice Time Kid because another layer to the album was revealed which made it “epic and sometimes vulnerable and sometimes sweet and romantic and so brave and full of mystery and win”.Īt times Die Antwoord say they felt as if the mission to complete the album was impossible, but finally they emerged from the hell of making a record. It was originally going to be called Rats Rule as the tracks were “dark and ratty” but it was later changed to We Have Candy because they started making music that was “kinda mental and lunatic and random and juicy”. It also features a track called Jonah Hill, although he is unfortunately not making an appearance.Īccording to a statement by the duo, the album has had a number of lives.
The 16-track record features a number of guests including actor and Tenascious D frontman Jack Black, burlesque performer Dita Von Teese and Cyprus Hills’ Sen-Dog. The new album by the wacky South African duo comes just months after the release of their first mixtape Suck On This which was always intended to be a prelude to the album.
