A Deer A Horse release a second single “Panic” from their upcoming album Grind set to release April 8 via Bitter Records.

“‘Panic’ examines the relationship between how we feel and how we react to those feelings,” says the band. “There’s pain, but then there’s the fear of pain. Fear often wins out as the most potent feeling, and fear of failure in particular prevents us from trying, experimenting, and growing. The refrain ‘pleasure and the thought of pleasure are the same’ offers an alternative experience.”

Pre-order for the Brooklyn-based rock band’s Grind is available now via Bandcamp which features nine tracks produced by Jamie Uertz and A Deer A Horse.

“The meat and potatoes of what you hear on Grind is the sound of us trying to capture our live energy,” drummer Dylan 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.”
