Brooklyn’s A Deer A Horse Share “Statue Sea” via GoldFlakePaint
Backswimmer EP due out March 10th via Custom Made Music
Expand Tour Dates Including SXSW
A Deer A Horse are sharing “Statue Sea,” the second single from the band’s upcoming Backswimmer EP (out March 10th via Custom Made Music). GoldFlakePaint premiered the track, sharing:
“With a brand new album out next week, the trio follow-up the stormy lead track “Backswimmer” with a raucous new cut today – and “Statue Sea” is every bit as fascinating as we’ve come to expect. Bashing through genre walls like they were made of silk rather than concrete, the track rises and falls through dramatic vocals and thick slabs of guitars that wrap the whole thing up in a darkness that feels unbreakable.”
The band will be heading down to Austin around this year’s SXSW; full dates can be found below.

3. Bad Thoughts
4. Once or TwiceBIO:
Dark, heavy, and full of tension, A Deer A Horse’s music is a rare breed in Brooklyn’s DIY scene. Comprised of Rebecca Satellite (vocals/guitar), Angela Phillips (bass/backing vocals), and Dylan Teggart (drums), the trio have embraced the raw and dirty aspects of their city and created something simultaneously urgent, sludgy, and cathartic with their upcoming EP, Backswimmer. Set for release on March 10th via Custom Made Music, Backswimmer captures the band in their most primal form, a collection of songs that find the band diving into the abyss with pounding rhythms, enormous riffs and inescapable melodies. Backswimmer, named after an insect that, while swimming, can see both above and below the surface of the water with its large split eyes, captures a similar duality in both the dark and the light.
A Deer A Horse formed back in 2011 while Satellite and Phillips were students at Sarah Lawrence College and they have been playing music together ever since. The current version of the band formed in 2015 when Teggart joined, changing the band’s direction as the thundering rhythm section began to channel the weight of their lyrical content.
