    Deer Tick Vol 1 tight acoustics, keyboards and vocals that exceeded my expectations. Sea of Clouds is memorable. The more I listened I was "Doomed From The Start" you will be too! A little something for everybody in the release-enjoy.

    Those unawares of Deer Tick’s five preceding efforts ought to make every effort to catch up. Likewise, those who appreciate the band’s quality and consistency will find Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 to be a perfect pairing, as compatible as their titles imply.

    Deer Tick could have done a lot with their plethora of strong songs: made painful cuts to release a regular album, or shoehorned an overarching narrative in and called it a concept album. But the simplest solution was the correct one. They just put out two good records on the same day, inviting but not forcing listeners to associate them.

    Vol. 1 here is mellow, introspective and rootsy. [Nov 2017, p.103]
