Acccording to jambands, Deer Tick Vol. 1 deals with the acoustic side while Deer Tick Vol.2 deals with the rock side of the band.

With the first volume, “Sea of Clouds” was released and with the second volume, “It’s A Whale”.
In a press release, it was stated that Deer Tick Vol. 1 showcases the folk-driven, roots/rock style with the right amount of grit, that Deer Tick is known for. Lead singer/songwriter John McCauley is amasterful, introspective and observational songwriter, who documents inner struggles and external conflicts with a perfect balance of heartfelt sincerity and wry wit.
