Deer Tick – “20 Miles”
Vocalist John McCauley may only be in his mid-20s, but his weathered voice and world-weary lyrics belie his age, and give Deer Tick’s music a gravitas often found in more veteran groups. Their third and latest full-length release, The Black Dirt Sessions, features delicate arrangements and a refined sound that sprang from the band’s extensive touring together. “20 Miles” is an example of this record’s intensely personal lyrics and strong songcraft.
