Deer Tick Get Down And Dirty On The Black Dirt Sessions

Buzz-worthy Rhode Island rockers Deer Tick will release their third full-length album, The Black Dirt Sessions, this June. The new record, which was recorded in upstate New York at Black Dirt Studios, features the band’s latest lineup — guitarist Andy Tobiaissen is out, and guitarist Ian O’Neil has permanently joined the fold.

The new album, due June 8 via Partisan Records, examines fate, mortality, and God, and is the followup to last year’s critically acclaimed Born On Flag Day.
