Deep Sea Diver

Seattle’s Deep Sea Diver will return with new album, Secrets, on February 19 via the band’s own High Beam Records. Frontperson Jessica Dobson, who has played in The Shins and Beck’s band, is an adept guitarist with a powerful voice and strong sense of dynamics, as can be heard on Secrets‘ title track. Stream that below.

Deep Sea Diver also just released a holiday EP, It’s Christmas Time, with covers of four Christmas classics. “The First Noel” is pretty gorgeous, putting the English carol (that’s over 200 years old) through their ethereal, anthemic style. Stream the whole EP below…

Deep Sea Diver will be on tour next year with Radiation City. You can still get tickets to their NYC show at Rough Trade on March 3. All tour dates are listed below.
