Deer Tick

Our contract has yet to be fulfilled - we’re delighted to announce that our new EP ‘Contractual Obligations’ will be released on July 12th, 2024 via @atorecords . The first single “Sacrosanct” is out now. Sometimes when you make a record you have to make a few cuts. With 2023’s ‘Emotional Contracts,’ we were quite happy with all the material that ended up on the cutting room floor. So we swept it all up and compiled it into this EP. You can pre-order the EP on Ice Blue vinyl and watch the lyric video for “Sacrosanct” at the link in bio + stream the single wherever you please.

Our cover of Bruce Springsteen @springsteen ’s “Dancing in the Dark” is out now! Stream it and watch our new visualizer at the link in bio. “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 willpower. Bruce really shows us who he is on this one and it looks an awful lot like the rest of us.” - Ian O’Neil @ian__oneil Mixed and engineered by Dennis Ryan

‘Emotional Contracts’ has been released. Link in bio to order and stream.
