- 3rd full length.
- debut full length was The Strange Boys & Girls Club out in 2009)
- in the same vein as the Black Lips… lo-fi mash-up of 60’s/70’s rock, old r&b and punk.
Deer Tick - Chevy Express - Divine Providence
- 4th album
- The leader of Deer Tick, John McCauley, has been working on the Middle Brother collaborative project recently and making some brilliant music there.
- This is their first new recording in about 2 years as their 3rd album was recorded during the sessions for their 2nd.
- The is the first single from the forthcoming album and has an easier feel that is more reminiscent of Middle Brother than the older Deer Tick stuff.
