The follow-up to Emotional Contracts (hailed by Uncut as one of 2023’s best albums), Coin-O-Matic shines a light on a lesser-known side of the American story: the hidden histories of the band’s home state of Rhode Island, where the struggles of working-class families have long existed alongside the shadow of the mafia underworld. Drawn to that uneasy intersection, singer/guitarist John McCauley, guitarist/singer Ian O’Neil, drummer/singer Dennis Ryan, and bassist Christopher Ryan crafted a collection of songs steeped in desperation, grief, redemption, and resilience, rendered with both cinematic scope and lived-in emotional depth. A striking new chapter from one of indie rock’s most enduring bands, Coin-O-Matic unfolds as a complex love letter to a way of life slowly slipping from the collective memory.
Recorded at Deer Tick’s home studio, Coin-O-Matic marks their first self-produced album in their two-decade-plus career and features guest musicians such as Los Lobos’ Steve Berlin (on baritone saxophone) and former Deer Tick member Rob Crowell (on organ). The album frequently brings a live-wire immediacy to their finespun storytelling. “We’ve never been so comfortable making a record, and I think you can feel that in the performances,” says Dennis, who engineered the LP. “We weren’t beholden to anyone else’s idea of what Deer Tick sounds like, and because of that, this album feels like an unfettered capturing of who we are as a band.”
