Deer Tick 1

Deer Tick Vol. 1 and Deer Tick Vol. 2, the distinct efforts are due out September 2017 on Partisan Records. - Both albums were recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Each features 10 new tracks, meaning Deer Tick fans will be getting 20 new songs this fall. What's more, the albums showcase different sides of the band, one softer and the other grittier. - Vol. 1 will highlight the Rhode Island outfit's acoustic folk rock side, harkening back to where they started on albums like their War Elephant debut. A press release says the 10-track effort highlights frontman John McCauley's "masterful, introspective and observational" songwriting with songs that document "inner struggles and external conflicts with a perfect balance of heartfelt sincerity and wry wit." The album will include tracks led by guitarist Ian O'Neil ("Hope is Big") and drummer Dennis Ryan ("Me and My Man").
