(Chromatic) Deer Tick today shared their raw, fervent cover of the Bruce Springsteen classic "Dancing in the Dark," recently recorded in the band's Providence, RI, studio, alongside a visualizer.
"For me, 'Dancing in the Dark' isn't a song about romance, but instead a desperate plea to break out of some degraded, stagnant situation. The narrator is filled with angst, self doubt, and the only way out is to the sheer force of unwavering will power," explains guitarist/vocalist Ian O'Neil. "Bruce really shows us who he is on this one and it looks an awful lot like the rest of us." The band's most recent album, Emotional Contracts, was released in June via ATO Records.
Deer Tick's fall headlining tour in support of Emotional Contracts begins this week in Charleston, SC, and includes shows at LA's Teragram Ballroom on October 27th, Brooklyn, NY's Warsaw on November 15th, and two hometown shows at the Columbus Theatre on November 24th and 25th.
