DINE ALONE RECORDS TO RELEASE DEER TICK’S DIVINE PROVIDENCE
(OCTOBER 12, 2011) Dine Alone Records is proud to announce the addition of Deer Tick to their expanding roster in Canada. Deer Tick’s highly anticipated, fourth full length album Divine Providence will be released in Canada digitally on October 25 and physically on November 8.
Divine Providence was produced by the band along with Adam Landry and Justin Collins, who were also at the helm for lead singer, main songwriter John McCauley’s highly acclaimed side project, Middle Brother. Deer Tick’s live shows and McCauley’s overall stage aesthetic fueled his desire to create the raw and spontaneous kerosene blaze that is Divine Providence. While the break-neck speed and damn-it-all fury could give one the sense that it all may fall apart in an instant, Deer Tick never loses sight of the song. It is insanity, but there’s obviously a plan in place. 
“After so many years of critics praising [and making fun of] us for our ‘folk’ and ‘country’ sounds, and hardly ever mentioning the fact that we’ve also recorded virtually dozens of other kinds of music, we wanted to make a record that was truer to our live set: raw, loud, heartfelt, and completely uninterested in whatever the hell the rest of the music industry is up to,” says McCauley. “The results are unlike anything you’ve heard on a Deer Tick album.”
Divine Providence is the Rhode Island quintet’s fourth album in just five years, and is the first one the band has recorded in their home state. It’s a follow-up to their fantastic Black Dirt Sessions, that New York magazine called “flat-out great,” and inspired the Late Show with David Lettermanto give the band its network television debut. The new record features for the first time lead vocal turns on a couple of songs by guitarist Ian O’Neil and drummer Dennis Ryan.
“Man, you can practically smell the sweat and the beer! Shit, you may even hear a guitar or two break somewhere in there!,” continues McCauley. “It’s got a little Exile, it’s got a little In Utero, it’s got a little Nilsson Schmilsson, but it’s 100{56f2936c3fbc3de09a84fd52b6c7526482536b9cf55829985307b198e62a23d8} Deer-Fucking-Tick in our purest, and most carefree form.”
