\nDeer Tick – Divine Providence
\n
\nLad
 ies and gentlemen…
\n
\nFrom the band that’s been both accurately and inacc
 urately labeled just about everything this side of Top 40 comes a true-to-f
 orm rock-n-roll record. Scratch that\, true-to-form is not Deer Tick‘s styl
 e. Let’s start over…
\n
\nNaturally\, after so many years of critics praisi
 ng [and making fun of] them for their “folk” and “country” sounds and hardl
 y ever mentioning the fact that they’ve also recorded virtually dozens of o
 ther kinds of music\, the band wanted to make a record that was truer to th
 eir live set (which has gained some notoriety): raw\, loud\, heartfelt\, an
 d completely uninterested in whatever the hell the rest of the music indust
 ry is up to.
\n
\nTo produce this record\, the band recruited the team of A
 dam Landry and Justin Collins\, who produced McCauley’s side-project Middle
  Brother‘s debut album. The results are unlike anything you’ve heard on a D
 eer Tick album\, but Deer Tick achieves something that is a lot more accura
 te to their live sound. Distorted guitars are aplenty\, guitarist Ian O’Nei
 l and drummer Dennis Ryan take lead vocal duties for the first time on reco
 rd. Man\, you can practically smell the sweat and the beer! Shit\, you may 
 even hear a guitar or two break somewhere in there! It’s got a little Exile
 \, it’s got a little In Utero\, it’s got a little Nilsson Schmilsson\, but 
 it’s 100% Deer-Fucking-Tick in their purest\, and most carefree form… perha
 ps that’s because this is the first record they’ve recorded in their home s
 tate of Rhode Island… GAH!!! No need to over-think this shit!!! Moving on…
 \n
\nThe songs are there. The delivery is in your face. There’s no studio m
 agic. There’s no hiding the fact that Deer Tick is just five regular dudes.
  This record may rattle your thoughts\, and it may make you think different
 ly about Deer Tick\, but at least they didn’t make the same album four time
 s in a row\, right?
