This is the fourth album from Deer Tick and a pivotal moment for the band. With a couple of line-up changes over the years, they started to speed things up a bit on ‘Divine Providence’; not that they shed their blues-tinged country rock sound entirely, but the album has an even split of fast stompers and mid-tempo country bar howls.

The original 12 songs on the album are about as close as you can get to a beer-drenched show with the band; the addition of the five songs from the ‘Tim’ EP and the 12 bonus tracks of alternate versions, outtakes and rarities (including a studio version of their live staple ‘Cake and Eggs’) make for a close encounter with a lost weekend with the band.

The original album was produced by Adam Landry and Justin Collins at Machines with Magnets in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and this edition was remastered by John Baldwin at John Baldwin Mastering.

This 11th Anniversary edition is a three LP set on coloured vinyl – three shades of orange: Side A/B is on orange opaque vinyl, Side C/D is on oranger opaque vinyl and Side E/F is on orangest opaque vinyl – in a wide spine jacket with a die cut cover, printed inner sleeves and a 12- page photo booklet.

All the music has been remastered for this special edition.
