Their debut album "In The Dream Of The Sea Life" struck the hearts and ears of internet music dorks, and they have been riding a residual wave of praise since. Their sound and their aesthetic is familiar and unique; they smoosh Pet Sounds harmonies through Animal Collective gurgle and approach the aftermath with naivety and wonder. Their music is both classic and totally modern.

Candy Claws explores the wonders of our natural world through the lenses of mid-century lounge music, 60s pop, 70s nature documentary soundtracks, a single 80s drum fill, 90s shoegaze, and modern sampling techniques.

A remastered version of 'In the Dream of The Sea Life' was released on Irish label Indiecater Records on August 4, 2009. A CD version was released on October 26, 2009.

Birth of the Flower
Candy Claws Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Silhouette in white sun
Suddenly the sight
Of color everywhere
A flower whispers in your ear

The story of its origin, Sundance Sea
I see you′re listening (Your look with me)
And all I see is new

A flower's scent
Changes our path
Songs of birds describe
The light in the presence and absence
Of light butterflies
Wind around each other as they rise
A flower′s scent changes
(All I see is, all I see is new)

We see a
A beauty
Only we (we have seen)

You see (we see)
You have seen it
You can see it
I see it in you, you'll see it in me, I see

We see a
A beauty
Only we (We have seen)

You see (we see)
You have seen it

You can see it
I see it in you, you'll see it in me, I see

The image of a dark outline against a bright sun

Suddenly the sight
An unexpected visual experience

Of color everywhere
An abundance of various hues

A flower whispers in your ear
The soundless message of a blooming plant

The story of its origin, Sundance Sea
The tale of where it came from, an imagined place called Sundance Sea

I see you're listening (Your look with me)

Wind around each other as they rise
Twist together during flight

I see it in you, you'll see it in me, I see
We recognize it in each other, and I acknowledge it

Lyrics !!

Silhouette in white sun
Suddenly the sight of
Color everywhere
A flower whispers in your ear
The story of its origin
Near Sundance Sea
I see you're listening
Your look with me
A flower's scent
Changes our path
Songs of birds
Describe the light
In the presence
And absence of light
Butterflies wind
Around each other as they rise
We see a beauty only we have seen
I see it in you, you see it in me

Color everywhere
A flower whispers in your ear
The story of its origin
Near Sundance Sea
I see your listening
Your Look with me
And all I see is new
A flower's scent
Changes our path
Songs of birds
Describe the light
In the presence
And absence of light
Butterflies wind
Around each other as they rise
We see a beauty only we have seen
I see it in you, you see it in me
