Born On Flag Day is Deer Tick’s highly anticipated second full-length album and follow-up to the band’s 2007 internationally acclaimed debut War Elephant (reissued in 2008 by Partisan Records). This release follows two years of extensive touring across the country and abroad. Unlike War Elephant, this album features the three new members of Deer Tick that principal songwriter John J. McCauley III recruited to become the band’s current incarnation - Andy Tobiassen, Dennis Ryan and Chris Ryan. Born On Flag Day therefore is more developed soundwise to accompany the full band making it a much fuller record. The album is set for a June 23rd street date on Partisan Records.
Deer Tick shares their first single off the new record “Easy” which I heard live at Bowery Ballroom. Sounds great live and is pretty interesting recorded.
