1. Noise rock/post-harcor… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two artists with this name:
1. Noise rock/post-harcore/math rock band from Cleveland, Ohio
2. Hip-hop artist from Ventura, California
1) Craw belonged to the harder-edged branch of the math rock or post hardcore movement, in the same category as bands such as Colossamite, Keelhaul, Zeni Geva, Dazzling Killmen, and Ruins. Craw were an underground band from Cleveland, Ohio, initially active from 1988 through 2002. From 1993 through 2002, craw released four full-length albums.
Formed at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, the group originally consisted of David McClelland and Rockie Brockway on guitars, and Chris Apanius on bass. Vocalist Joe McTighe and drummer Lori Davis joined soon after, and in 1990, that lineup recorded a self-titled demo. In the fall of 1990, Lori Davis left the group and was replaced by Neil Chastain. The new lineup recorded a second demo, Celephais, as well as several singles and the band's first, self-titled album. Apanius and Chastain left the group in 1994 and 1995, respectively, and were replaced by Zak Dieringer and Will Scharf.
Craw amassed a local following in the early ’90s, often performing at Cleveland's Euclid Tavern, and during the mid-to-late ’90s, they toured North America frequently, sharing bills with bands such as the Jesus Lizard, Melvins and Neurosis.
The group's first three full-length recordings - 1993's Craw, 1994's Lost Nation Road and 1997's Map, Monitor, Surge - were recorded with the help of Steve Albini. The last release, entitled Bodies for Strontium 90, was engineered by Bill Korecky at Mars Studios, and is available on the indie label Hydra Head Records.
In late 2015, Northern Spy Records reissued craw's first three albums as a limited-edition vinyl box set. The band reunited for two concerts in March of 2016. All seven members that appeared on craw's four studio albums performed at these shows.
2) Craw (formerly Crawdad) is an American rapper from Ventura, California. He is one-half of the Hip-Hop duo Character Assassins. He has shared the microphone with some of Hip-Hop's greatest talent including Chino XL, Slaine and Blueprint. Craw's music has charted around the globe, and he continues to release new music frequently; dropping over 30 singles between 2017 & 2018.
Sex
Craw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Exercising the hairy eyeball in May
I spied a startling example
Of female she and I thus exchanged words
She smelled me and her VNO
In her nose told her our MHC genes agreed
Now when I speak of her coloration
Of all her principles and beliefs
This I endeavored to ignore
And now the situation
Can best be described as
Kaleidoscope what a beautiful form
A summation of tangled emotion
A fixed series of changing phases
Seen through my kaleidoscope
My endeavoring proved to be my undoing
As she left me to my willful
Ignorance yet her legacy
Left for me is to be blinded by
Enthralled with the kaleidoscope
The lyrics to Craw's song "Sex" tell a story of a chance encounter between the singer and a female in the park. The singer speaks of how they exchanged words and there was an instant attraction between the two based on their MHC genes agreeing. The singer also speaks of ignoring the female's principles and beliefs, purely because of the attraction he feels towards her. As the situation unfolds, the singer describes his confusion and conflicting emotions as a "Kaleidoscope" of beauty.
It's interesting to note that the term "hairy eyeball" mentioned in the first line is a colloquial expression that refers to an evaluating or suspicious look. It's also important to note that the VNO (Vomeronasal organ) mentioned in the song is responsible for detecting pheromones, which are chemicals produced by animals to communicate with others of their own species.
Additionally, the song speaks to the idea of genetic compatibility in attraction, and how the MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) plays a role in that. The MHC is a group of genes that play a key role in the immune system, and research has shown that people are attracted to those who have different MHC genes from their own, possibly as a way to increase genetic diversity in offspring.

Walking through the park on day
I was taking a walk through the park one day
Exercising the hairy eyeball in May
I was checking out the ladies in May
I spied a startling example
I saw an attractive woman
Of female she and I thus exchanged words
We started talking to each other
She smelled me and her VNO
She picked up on my scent using her vomeronasal organ
In her nose told her our MHC genes agreed
Her sense of smell signaled to her that our major histocompatibility complex genes were compatible
Now when I speak of her coloration
When I talk about her physical appearance
I refer to the summation
I mean the overall impression
Of all her principles and beliefs
Based on her personality and values
This I endeavored to ignore
I tried to overlook this fact
And now the situation
But now the state of things
Can best be described as
Is best characterized by
Kaleidoscope what a beautiful form
A beautiful and ever-changing image like a kaleidoscope
A summation of tangled emotion
A mix of complex emotions
A fixed series of changing phases
A pattern of changing moods
Seen through my kaleidoscope
As I see it
My endeavoring proved to be my undoing
Trying to ignore her personality caused my downfall
As she left me to my willful
Because of that, she left me to my own devices
Ignorance yet her legacy
But her impact on me is still there
Left for me is to be blinded by
Leaves me with only the kaleidoscope to be amazed by
Enthralled with the kaleidoscope
Fascinated by the ever-changing pattern of emotions

In this case when an animal sees a close replica of one of its own, it will attempt courtship and copulation. Nigel the Mana Island Gannet did this too and those were concrete statues. If it sees a potential mate, it will go for it. As intelligent as the corvid family of birds are, they are still animals.
