A Deer A Horse: Texas Math – The Second Album from Brooklyn’s Alternative Metal Trailblazers

Texas Math marks the release of A Deer A Horse's second album, showcasing the band in its dynamic new lineup. Alongside long-standing members Angela Phillips (vocals and bass) and Dylan Teggart (drums), the album introduces Marissa Mazzotta (lead guitar) and Ripley Shultz (guitar and backing vocals), bringing a fresh energy to their sound.

Following their acclaimed 2022 LP Grind, Texas Math explores a rawer, more introspective side of the band while blending influences from metal, punk, industrial, and stoner rock into a powerful and cohesive sonic experience.

Angela Phillips steps fully into the spotlight as lead vocalist, tackling profound themes such as suicide, hallucinations, isolation, denial, and religious indoctrination with unflinching honesty and emotional depth.

Recorded at Silver Cord Studios—Gojira’s legendary space in New York City—the album was self-produced by the band and expertly mixed by Jamie Uertz (Gojira, Anthrax). Texas Math also features contributions from longtime friends and collaborators Cosmo Sylvan, Alex Molini (Pile), and Izzy MK (Stripes). Additional engineering was provided by Johann Meyer (Gojira) and Tim Haggerty (Added Color), with mastering by Josh Bonati.

Texas Math is a bold statement of A Deer A Horse’s evolution, delivering a visceral and uncompromising journey.
