| DEER TICK SHARE FIERY COVER OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’S “DANCING IN THE DARK” ATO Records Debut Emotional Contracts Out Now |
 |
| “Dancing in the Dark” Single Artwork Deer Tick shared their raw, fervent cover of the Bruce Springsteen classic “Dancing in the Dark,” recently recorded in the band’s Providence, RI, studio, alongside a visualizer. “For me, ‘Dancing in the Dark’ isn’t a song about romance, but instead a desperate plea to break out of some degraded, stagnant situation. The narrator is filled with angst, self doubt and the only way out is to the sheer force of unwavering will power,” explains guitarist/vocalist Ian O’Neil. “Bruce really shows us who he is on this one and it looks an awful lot like the rest of us.” The band’s most recent album, Emotional Contracts, was released in June via ATO Records. In addition to being named one of NY Mag/Vulture‘s Most Anticipated Summer Albums, Emotional Contracts saw Deer Tick return to CBS This Morning: Saturday Sessions in August to perform lead single “Forgiving Ties” (which climbed to the Top 10 at AAA radio chart, #6 Americana, #2 College), “If I Try To Leave” and “If She Could Only See Me Now.” The album also earned praise and support from FLOOD Magazine (track by track feature), Brooklyn Vegan (Influences feature), InsideHook (feature), MOJO (4/5 star review), NPR Music (‘New Music Friday’ playlist), GuitarWorld.com (Essential Guitar Tracks), and more. The band’s first new album since 2017 and produced by Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Spoon, Sleater-Kinney), Emotional Contracts adds an even greater vitality to Deer Tick’s feverish collection of timeless rock-and-roll and features guest musicians like Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, as well as background vocals from singer/songwriters like Courtney Marie Andrews, Carlton, Kam Franklin, Angela Miller and Sheree Smith. The LP catalogs all the existential casualties that accompany the passing of time, instilling each song with the irresistibly reckless spirit that’s defined Deer Tick for nearly two decades. Mostly recorded live–and honed down from nearly 20 songs to a concise, thoughtfully curated ten – the album is Deer Tick’s most collaborative to date and sees all four members operating at their peak songcraft powers. Deer Tick Live Dates 04/09/24 – 04/13/24 – Riviera Maya, MX @ Avett Brothers At The Beach – Hard Rock Hotel |
