Deer Tick, Vol. 2

DEER TICK VOL. 2 - Deer Tick TITLE: Deer Tick Vol. 2 Ambitious and smart, the twin albums complement one another but also stand independently. Vol. 1 is classic Deer Tick: folk-rooted acoustic guitars and soft piano cushion out-front vocals. Vol. 2 commits wholly to the band's longtime garage-rock flirtations for a triumphant foray into punk. " Vol. 2's "Jumpstarting"-a favorite track of McCauley's-offers the same kind of lifeline: he shouts startlingly sweet promises over crunchy guitars.
