New Deer Tick: "Easy"

Deer Tick (who did a phenomenal 50s-inspired take on Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls") will be releasing a brand new album, Born On Flag Day, on June 23 (this upcoming Tuesday). I understand that guitarist/singer/songwriter John McCauley's vocals can be a bit grating for some, but personally I find them pretty easy to get behind. Sort of like some folkified Kurt Cobain crossed with mid-career Dylan. "Easy" is a track off of that album. The intro is a little uninviting, and the verse sort of pulls you in but is quick to push you away again, making you feel like you're on the outside looking in. But then comes the chorus. A nice big hook of a chorus, and you feel like you're on the inside, part of it all, detached from and looking out at the rest.
