Deer Tick have announced the UK release of their new album ‘Divine Providence’, available next week, Monday 2nd April, via Loose Music. ‘Divine Providence’ is the Rhode Island quintet's fourth album in just five years and is the first release recorded in their home state.
‘Divine Providence’ is the follow-up to ‘Black Dirt Sessions’. After years of critics mainly praising them for their "folk" and "country" sounds and not touching on their other musical styles, Deer Tick wanted to make a record that was true to their live set (which has gained some notoriety): raw, loud, heartfelt, and completely uninterested in whatever the hell the rest of the music industry is up to.
To produce this record, the band recruited the team of Adam Landry and Justin Collins, who produced McCauley's side-project Middle Brother's debut album. Distorted guitars aplenty, guitarist Ian O'Neil and drummer Dennis Ryan take lead vocal duties for the first time on record, you can practically smell the sweat and the beer! And even hear a guitar or two break somewhere in there!
The band are also releasing the 'Tim' EP, which sports unreleased material from the ‘Divine Providence’ sessions, including an acoustic version of album track ‘Main Street’. This version captures John McCauley playing it for the first time, as he had finished writing it only minutes before recording. An aural butcher might call this piece of meat “rare”.
The EP will be included as a free CD with the first 1,000 copies of the ‘Divine Providence’ CD sold and will also be available to buy digitally from April 2nd.
