Spas za ovu jesen!!!!!!!!!!!Look up “workhorse” in the dictionary, and there probably won’t be a picture of Deer Tick, but there damn well ought to be. In just five years, the Providence, Rhode Island indie folk band has put out three LPs and three EPs, toured relentlessly, and become a regular on the festival circuit. This on top of frontman John McCauley’s work with Middle Brother, including touring with both units at once. Now Deer Tick has announced yet another record under a year-and-a-half removed from their last one, The Black Dirt Sessions.
Due from Partisan Records on October 25th, the new full-length is the first the band has recorded in their hometown. Fitting, then, that they gave it the title Divine Providence. Helping the band capture “the raw and spontaneous kerosene blaze” of their live show were Adam Landry and Justin Collins, the pair who did diligence for Middle Brother’s debut. “We wanted to make a record that was closer to our live set,” says McCauley, “raw, loud, heartfelt, and completely uninterested in whatever the hell the rest of the music industry is up to. The results are unlike anything you’ve heard on a Deer Tick album.”
