Deer Tick, the pride of Providence, Rhode Island, just announced a new album to hit the streets this fall. The band will also be hitting the Highway<\/a> in support of Negativity,<\/em> their aptly titled fifth studio full length. This tour includes a stop in Winnipeg on October 16 at the West End. I, for one, am pumped.<\/p>\n

I admit that I came to the Deer Tick party somewhat late. When I first heard of them, as a casual music consumer and not the consummate, professional music journalist (ha!) that I am now, I had them mixed up with Deerhoof, who were never really my bag. It wasn’t until a little before\u00a0Divine Providence\u00a0<\/em>dropped that I realized my mistake, and how much time I had wasted not listening to these guys. Rook move, for sure.<\/p>\n

Due some form of scheduling conflict, which I cannot quite place at this time, I was unable to catch the boys when they last hit Winnipeg, on that\u00a0Divine Providence\u00a0<\/em>run through the prairies. Luckily, I was able to catch a solo set by John McCauley at a Billy Reid party in Austin this past SXSW. He performed a lot of new tunes that afternoon, which (I assume) will be making up a good chunk of\u00a0Negativity.\u00a0<\/em>Since then, I’ve dug deep into the Daytrotter<\/a> vaults to find great sessions from Deer Tick, and two full length concerts recorded in the Barn. My favourite of these moments is a tender cover of the Boss’s “Nebraska.” <\/a>So money.<\/p>\n

The first single off Negativity<\/em>, “The Dream’s in the Ditch,” was released yesterday, and it’s a beauty. Check it out here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Between now and October 16, I’ll be digging back into the early albums, particularly Born on Flag Day<\/em>, which I haven’t given much attention to of late.\u00a0I’m also pulling for a full length Deer Tick feature for our Oct\/Nov edition of Stylus. W<\/em>e’ll certainly be running a review of\u00a0Negativity. \u00a0<\/em>Keep posted here, friends. And keep the wheels between the ditches. Party on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
