Candy Claws, the Colorado dreampop trio who split in 2015, have released their first new song in a decade, which will appear on a new reissue of their 2013 album, Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time. “Distortion Spear” is not a studio leftover, but a brand new song the trio (Ryan Hover, K Hover, and Hank Bertholf) recorded last year.
“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,” says Ryan, who along with K still make music with offshoot group Sound of Ceres. “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.”

Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time is out this Friday, August 4, via Twosyllable Records. It comes as a gatefold double vinyl LP set, that comes with a dual-mono edition of the album and a bonus “Distortion Spear” CD single. Order it here.
