Deer Tick

As a phenomenally rowdy live act who once averaged 250 shows a year, Deer Tick’s deep-rooted connection is tied to a mutual love for the unpredictability of the musical impulse. “Emotional Contracts,” their latest album, catalogs all the existential casualties that accompany the passing of time, instilling each song with the irresistibly reckless spirit that’s defined the band for nearly two decades.
