Deer Tick is set to reissue their 2011 album, Divine Providence, on November 11 via Partisan Records. The Providence, Rhode Island-born band shared the previously unreleased track “Cake And Eggs” to preview the LP’s 11th anniversary celebratory re-release.
2011’s Divine Providence is Deer Tick’s fourth studio album. The era saw the group solidifying their current lineup of vocalist/guitarist John McCauley, bassist Christopher Ryan, drummer Denis Ryan and guitarist Ian O’Neil. Originally produced by Adam Landry and Justin Collins, the reissue was remastered by John Baldwin.
Along with “Cake And Eggs,” the 11th anniversary edition of Divine Providence contains unreleased songs and never-before-heard alternate versions of tracks from the sessions along with the inclusion of the band’s 2012 Tim EP. Additionally, the collection offers a 12-page booklet of photos from the era. John McCauley shared his experience revisiting the sessions for Divine Providence:
“One of the fun things about diving into the old Divine Providence tapes was hearing all the forgotten material we recorded. We found a somewhat unfinished take of ‘Cake and Eggs,’ a kind of irreverent love song in the style of John Prine and Iris DeMent’s ‘In Spite of Ourselves.’ I wrote with Nikki from Those Darlins and it quickly became a live staple and an important song for that era of Deer Tick. It’s surprising it never ended up on one of our records. Anyways, I slapped a new guitar track on there, Dennis and I recorded some new vocals, and now we’re happy to present this studio version of ‘Cake and Eggs,’ some eleven or twelve years after it was written. Enjoy.”
