Emotional Contracts [Red Vinyl] (LP)
Deer Tick
Amoeba Review
Deer Tick's Emotional Contracts is a big, bold indie-meets-country-rock album tailor-made for those restless days and nights when, as John J. McCauley sings on "The Real Thing," "you can't get no relief." The tracks are passionate and poignant, capturing the essence of our species-wide dilemma: time passes, things change, and we have to let go, whether we want to or not. The music alternates between stirring and tumultuous, consoling and warm. Emotional Contracts is truly epic, yet it also feels as lived in and familiar as a chat with an old friend. Turn this one up when you want to feel like someone out there understands.
