In a storied rock 'n' roll career of multi-platinum albums and timeless, ubiquitous radio smashes, Candlebox's sixth studio album, Disappearing In Airports, finds the renowned lineup infused with a new energy and openness. 'I want to take Candlebox into a new world, and this record is very different, very diverse for us,' says band founder and frontman Kevin Martin. 'It's about growth and pushing the band in the direction for a new audience.'
