"Recorded in the band's home studio in Providence, Rhode Island, Deer Tick's ninth LP is also their first self-produced effort. Guests include Los Lobos' Steve Berlin on baritone saxophone and former bandmate Rob Crowell on organ."
"The album centers on 'the hidden histories of the band's home state of Rhode Island, where the everyday dramas of working-class families long collided with the menace of the mafia underworld,' according to a press release. The Coin-O-Matic title is a reference the cigarette-vending-machine company front of legendary Providence mobster Raymond Patriarca."
"Frontman John McCauley recalled growing up in a world where you saw mobsters on the news and at local restaurants: 'They were criminals but also very colorful characters, and I wanted the album to partly reflect a certain nostalgia for that kind of seediness.'"
"Lead single 'Mary Singletary' is set in that bygone generation, though it doesn't focus on criminals. Instead, it looks at 'Catholic guilt and pre-marital sex and adding in a little bit of Looney Tunes-style violence.'"
