Deer Tick = Band of Horses

Deer ticks are gross, but this band is not. They are quite the opposite. They have an album titled “War Elephant” that I am falling in love with. Reminiscent of Band of Horses, Deer Tick is definitely another solid indie-folk band in my books. Really, really good folk music.

There’s actually a documentary about them called Deer Tick: To the City of Sin! coming out in a few weeks. It looks pretty sweet. Watch the trailer here.

As I always say, IFFL!

HEY. I’ve been going a little old school the past couple weeks, adding a ton of Bob Dylan and The Beatles to the library. Listening to them makes me realize just how influential and important they are to modern music, so there’s no doubt that while listening to Bob Dylan, there will be some times when you’ll think that you’re listening to a Bright Eyes song.
