The tale goes that John Wozniak had an intimate moment in a college dorm with his then - girlfriend. When the roommate walked in, he said, 'it smells like sex and candy in here!' That incident gave birth to the hit song 'Sex And Candy' from Marcy Playground's 1997 self - titled debut. This NYC alt - rock band might be a one - hit wonder, but the whole album is worth a listen. Begin with follow - up singles like 'Saint Joe on the School Bus' and 'Sherry Fraser', then explore 'Ancient Walls Of Flowers' and 'Poppies'. It's a blend of quirky and dark pop with folk undertones, a great slice of '90s alt - rock that will surely stir up memories, both good and bad. This vinyl is remastered and released by Slow Down Sound in 1997 and re - issued in 2018. Reviewed by rei kwondo on 06/18.
