Barely in his 20s, Deer Tick frontman John McCauley has crafted a record that cannily finds inspiration in the two most bountiful eras of commercial rock that precedes his generation. The raspy grunge of Nirvana permeates tracks like “Art Isn’t Real” as steadily as Gram Parsons’s contemplative country folk informs “Baltimore Blues No. 1.” But WAR ELEPHANT is most thrilling when it gets a bit of stomp (“Standing At The Threshold”) that brings to mind Neil Young at his most furious.
