Longtime MAGNET power-pop faves the Posies return September 28 with Blood/Candy (Ryko). For the first time in their almost-quarter-century career, Ken Stringfellow, Jon Auer and Co. collaborated with a host of guest players, including Lisa Lobsinger (Reverie Sound Revue, Broken Social Scene), Kay Hanley (Letters To Cleo), Hugh Cornwell (Stranglers) and Paco Loco (Australian Blonde). The Posies start their European tour the day of Blood/Candy‘s U.S. release and will return stateside after that for a North American jaunt. For much, much more on the Posies and the history of American power pop, check out our exhaustive 2002 cover story on the subject, also featuring Big Star, Cheap Trick, Matthew Sweet and many more. Also, read Stringfellow’s posts from his stint guesting editing the MAGNET website last year.
