A Deer A Horse, the enigmatic, Brooklyn-based band that The AV Club described as traversing “indie-pop, Devo-like spasms, and seemingly everything in between,” mark today’s release of their new album Bitter, with the Treble Zine premiere of their “Give It Up” video (https://www.treblezine.com/a-deer-a-horse-share-dark-sinister-new-video-for-give-it-up/).
“Our former guitar player, Rebecca Seatle, wrote the lyrics to ‘Give It Up’ after watching the film ‘Spotlight,’ about the Boston reporters that uncovered rampant sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church,” explain singer/bass player Angela Phillips and drummer Dylan Teggart of the song and Garrett Weinholtz-directed video. “It’s an indictment of unchecked power and privilege. ‘Show it to the world and the world cleans your hands’ speaks to the way society perpetuates sexual violence, how the powerful are often exonerated, and how trust can blind us to truth.”
The Brooklyn-based band are on the road now, with a record release show tonight at TV Eye.

Grind is available now via Bandcamp. The nine-song album was produced by Jamie Uertz (Gojira, Anthrax) and A Deer A Horse, with the band recording the nine-song album at Sylvia Massy’s (Tool, System of a Down, Johnny Cash) Ashland, Ore. studio.
“The meat and potatoes of what you hear on Grind is the sound of us trying to capture our live energy,” Teggart adds. “Each take was slightly different in terms of feel, tempo, and orchestrations, but the energy we wanted to capture—the primal scream of a band trying to make something of themselves—is there.”
