Antler Wings 06:04
Down the Cornish lane, The deer’s impulse is not his knowing; For the glory of his innocence. The tractor plowed the seeds, For the hero’s transformation; Surreal parlor of surgery: where unknown hands craft his body. From common rites, immortalize... ANTLER WINGS! This time without meaning; His method peculiar, his face familiar. Attractive and full of terror; Galloping through windows, he seduces all.

about

Originally demoed with no vocals in 2007 along with the two tracks that became our 2008 debut album 'Neptune With Fire'. It was re-recorded in 2009, this time with lyrics by our resident wordsmith Chico Foley -- a surrealist comic book rumination on our harrowing experience colliding with a large deer on the highway to SXSW earlier that year. The song was finally released in 2010 as part of Volcom Ent's split singles series with our Swedish friends and then Tee Pee Records labelmates Graveyard occupying the flipside. Volcom intended to press 500, but somehow accidentally pressed 1000. Those are long gone now, but you can still fly high on Antler Wings!
