Deflating Raft is the fourth and final single from the NYC quartet taken from the Darkyr Sooner EP. As of 12-8, we stand at #20 Alternative, #4 Indie. It's a tune I started very early, '92, and finished in '94. I thought highly of it then, and it would always be one of the first songs I would play when handed a guitar. When we recorded it at Buttons Sound, the contrapuntal vocal made the thing come much more to life. Just one raw voice leaves the song a tad monotonous. The lyrics, having been published in Siren's Silence in '97, add a level of the bizarre or outre to the tune. And it is the truth that the overall effect of the vocal tracks is Jeff Buckley-ish. People can decide if they like the heavy rockist lead playing done on an acoustic.
