Deer Tick offers extended tour dates, free song


Deer Tick is John McCauley III, a New York singer/songwriter who wrote and recorded his debut album, War Elephant, entirely by himself at the age of 20. An impressive feat considering the quality of the folk-rock music contained therein. The record was re-released near the end of last year, and the band is already finishing up their sophomore effort to be released later in 2009.

You can download "Long Time" from War Elephant below, a melancholy tune that rolls along with McCauley's Dylan-esque vocals backed by some simple, yet effecitve, guitar and drum work. More news on the new album is forthcoming, so stay tuned. To hear some more songs, check out Deer Tick's MySpace page.
