Candelilla is a German indie rock band hailing from Munich, formed in the early 2000s. The quartet is known for its bracingly unique sound that blends elements of punk, noise rock, and post-punk with incisive German lyrics and an unflinchingly experimental ethos. The band's members are Mira Mann (vocals, guitar), Rita Argauer (bass), Lina Seybold (guitar), and Sandra Hilpold (drums). Their musical approach is marked by an interplay of dissonant guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and Mann's distinctive vocal delivery that switches effortlessly between melodic and urgent spoken word.

Their discography includes several albums and EPs that have showcased their evolution as songwriters and sound sculptors. "Heart Mutter," released in 2013, is one of their notable works that presented a raw and visceral take on contemporary life through personal and political lenses. Subsequent releases like "Intimität" (2017) continued to explore themes of closeness and alienation with razor-sharp precision. With their most recent release, "Camping" (2020), Candelilla further refines their sound and reaffirms their status as boundary-pushers in the German independent music scene. Their relentless energy and willingness to confront the listener with both sonic assaults and vulnerable introspection make them a compelling force in the landscape of alternative rock.
