Full, long brown hair. A high, steady soprano voice. Soft, gentle folk music that can only be described as "lovely". From the description, you'd think the mastermind behind Death Vessel would be a beautiful, sensitive woman. But regardless of his feminine voice and appearance, Joel Thibodeau is definitely a man. And due to the hype surrounding his recent release via Seattle's own Sub-Pop, he's a very happy one at that.
"Nothing Is Precious Enough For Us" is the soundtrack for the perfect sunny afternoon. The acoustic guitar is lightly finger picked and floats around banjos, an upright bass, bells, toy pianos, flukuleles, tambourines, and even a wine glass. Immediately, you feel transported to a grassy field, where you run barefoot through tall grass and wear nothing but worn overalls. Perfect for driving with the windows down during the last days of summer, laying in bed snuggled next to the significant other of your choice, or drifting off to sleep to - Death Vessel seems to have something for everyone.
Standout tracks are "Block My Eye" and "Bruno's Torso", though every song has plenty of listenability. And that's why Death Vessel is your new favorite band.
