Colorado dream pop trio Candy Claws are back with their first new music in a decade — a sweeping, snowcapped single called "Distortion Spear." It accompanies the 10th anniversary reissue of their third (and ultimately final) album, Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time.
The track sees the original lineup of Ryan Hover, K Hover and Hank Bertholf reunite after 10 years, the band having come to a natural end when the Hovers joined members of the Drums and Apples in Stereo to form Sound of Ceres, while Bertholf focused on exterior projects.
"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," Ryan explained in a press release. "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."
"Distortion Spear" appears on a bonus CD that comes with the 10th anniversary vinyl reissue of the 2013 album — out this Friday (August 4) on Two Syllable — which you can pre-order here. Listen to the song below.
