about

Candy Claws unveil “Distortion Spear,” their first new music in a decade. Featuring the original Ceres & Calypso In The Deep Time lineup of Ryan Hover, K Hover, and Hank Bertholf, “Distortion Spear” crashes in with whirling synths before exploding into a reverb drenched euphoria: “Feel the rising mountain grow // Hear the minds of animals,” the band sings, “Follow streams deep in the vale // Leave the future far behind.” The track appears on a bonus CD that accompanies the 10th anniversary vinyl reissue of their beloved album, Ceres & Calypso In The Deep Time.

Of “Distortion Spear,” Ryan explains: “After spending most of the decade on opposite coasts (K and I in New York and Hank in Washington) we reunited at our friend Riley's wedding in Portland last summer of. It was great and surreal to hang out again, and we had the idea of making a new song for the 10th anniversary of Ceres & Calypso. Back home on our respective coasts, we collaborated long-distance during the following winter. Lyrically, it’s about how a decade can simultaneously feel like a lifetime and no time at all. Nature, memory, anticipation.”

lyrics

In the time where I have gone
Moonlight-colored sun
Some reflection moving off
Over dark green forest ponds

In the endless, ancient shade
Mirror of the world we knew

Through the trees the bell rings out
All I hear, I'm found
My reflection watches you
Hide a smooth stone in your mouth

Feel the rising mountain grow
Hear the minds of animals
Follow streams deep in the vale
Leave the future far behind

My reflection falls away
Into only dark and light
