Doe Deer is a song from Toronto-based band, Crystal Castles, released on their second self titled album, Crystal Castles. The release was limited to 500 copies on 12" vinyl. The EP was a special release for UK's record store day.[1] Prior to the release, Doe Deer was played on UK's Radio 1, and rips began to circulate around the internet. The 12" gained special attention because 3 unreleased tracks from 2004 were featured as B-sides to the lead track. The song was featured in an episode "Nick" of Season 5 of Skins.

Celestica is the first single from Crystal Castles' second self-titled album, Crystal Castles. The single was released digitally as an EP, featuring the three B-sides on the Doe Deer 12" EP. This single also included a "Single Mix" of Celestica. A no-budget video for the track was released as well, directed by Rob Hawkins, a friend of the band.[2] No official artwork has been presented for the single.[3]
