Art Is Real

Deer Tick - Art Isn't Real [City of Sin] (2006 live video)

Deer Tick - Art Isn't Real [City of Sin] (mp3): I met John McCauley (aka Deer Tick) for the first time last year, early in the morning and in a hotel bathroom courtesy of this YouTube video. The surprising clarity of his vocal enthralls while still sounding thrown-on like his undershirt and a bit crusty like morning eyes. True talent is at its best in bathrooms and basements, where strumming guitars fits as comfortably into lives as tooth brushing.
