The project of Providence, R.I.‘s John McCauley, Deer Tick’s 2007 debut, War Elephant, served as the inaugural release from Jana Hunter’s Feow! label. The 21-year-old songwriter ambles broadly through cuts of rolling folk-pop, garage country, and Animals-esque lo-fi blues, easy shuffling rhythms slanted against the scratchy Jeff Mangum vocals and clever lyrical contortions that nudge toward Devendra Banhart. – Doug Freeman
