their music is like coasting downhill on a bicycle with no hands and the wind in your face.

[@captainf976]

This video sums up why I'm happily donating to KEXP while living abroad. Great performance from one of my favorite bands. 💘

[@kexp]

+captainf976, thank you for supporting KEXP!

[@LittleRikey]

I love the enthusiasm from the drummer!

[@marceverds6308]

Live on KEXP is literally the best thing ever. Thank you Seattle for being awesome

[@curtislv426]

this channel has introduced me to so many great bands and i'm very grateful for that.

[@Hoontear]

Saw them in Detroit, favorite band for the past couple years and I love this album. Also as a fellow drummer, love this guy

[@jeremygarcia2964]

I saw Deep Sea Diver open for Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band back in 2008 and have lightly follow them ever since. They make some way good music and have really stepped it up since I saw them. Way too underrated for sure.

[@dhiancarlomiranda]

Jessica is a great singer and the band is so awesome!!! Congratulations, KEXP, for these sessions. Im always hear you guys here from São Paulo, Brazil.

[@shitstain001]

Thank you KEXP for introducing me to this band. Already a favorite.

[@marcobarraza129]

creatures of comfort gives me chills for a lifetime. Great ass band!

[@josh0g]

So excited to see video from the Grand Opening! Such a great show! Absolutely killed it!

[@twn7974]

I think that I'm found new favorite band :) they're is pretty good. Drummer is full of energy :)

[@riboflavinz]

I love the music and these guys are fun to watch. I've probably watched this video 20 times. I really hope they come to the DC area soon.

[@TanvirHKShuvo]

This band is full of energy, individual best efforts and team work. They sound amazing in live. I do agree with Kevin, Secrets is my instant fav for this year. I know this is just March, but the album is so good!

[@amelia_babelia]

Heard the first couple notes and automatically loved it

[@riboflavinz]

I really really love this band.

[@AWSum-uf4ri]

This group friggin rocks!

[@continuousmixes5790]

Found them on bandcamp their awesome! Creatures Of Comfort and Great Light are my favorites

[@leticiasouza8793]

Well done guys! Love your songs

[@MoystonFault]

Still coming back to this fantastic performance. Thanks KEXP crew for the access to live music and I'm a supporter.

[@aubreysucks]

Wow, I love that I live in Seattle. So many amazing bands

[@Pandamasque]

The drummer is amazing. But the bass is great too... actually, everyone's doing something interesting in this band, if you look close enough. Them textures!

[@lamoraverde]

+Pan Damasque you'd love to check on the very several bands in this KEXP

[@angelportal5378]

+Pan Damasque Indeed !!! but voice of lead singer is not impressive

[@lamoraverde]

certainly u don't need everything to fit perfectly with your taste to enjoy the same amount. There's a lot of people doing a lot of stuff!!! u they only need you to follow them not to be their everything in the world. it is so fine like this

[@Koskicat]

+Pan Damasque I agree, even after one song I was like "Woah the bass player is doing some funky stuff in there"...... The drummer is strong as what he does, love the tambourine top he has. I am meaning NO NEGATIVITY when I say the singer is the least talented of the band. Those guys kick it hard and the lyrics are good. Overall I like this band I wanna get some of their music here and roll down the highway in the sunlight listening to some.

[@jeffcnye6616]

+Krag Featherston - interesting interpretation considering that Jessica Dobson IS Deep Sea Divers, writing and producing everything and recording it all on the label that she created.

[@TheZenedd]

wow , she was guitar for shins ? great great sound here only got to sing solo once in awhile in shins , loved every second of her in shins .... very fine musicians awesome!!!!!!!!

[@broda769]

Just bought this album. Can't wait

[@AWSum-uf4ri]

Excellent questions were asked!

[@leascaart]

THIS BAND IS SO TIGHT!!!!

[@alectitus4859]

[@Feedurehed]

[@willounet]

Thanks again KEXP.

[@RuckRuRaggie]

You want to know what a band like this posses to sound phenomenal? STAMINA!!!

[@DopamineOverload]

Rad. Just opened for them last week in Philly. Really nice people, too.

[@Metalpug79]

Don't normally do this ever, but after seeing your comment I went to your channel to listen to any of your music to see what it was like... I listened to some of the '10 At Once' instrumental songs.. Really dug it, love the vibe. Just thought I'd share.. Have a nice day!

[@DopamineOverload]

+Metalpug79 Thanks for checking out my music. :) Really made my day. Have a nice day, as well! :)

[@GKPhoto4]

+chriscauldermusic Damn I'm really I missed you and your band and Deep Sea Diver!!! I just stumbled upon both yall! Rock On! I'm from the Philly area where the fuck have I been lol. Where did you guys play together?

[@HVYMETL]

+chriscauldermusic Chris - Beauty's Confusion - Sweet sound. You made my Sunday morning. Where is the cover photo?

[@DopamineOverload]

+GKPhoto4 Hi and thanks! I drum for Lockets (locketsmusic dotcom) and we played with Deep Sea Diver at Boot and Saddle in South Philly

[@chicobonbon70]

[@250624or]

Secret's Album is phenomenal!

[@16laurent09]

[@bobsmo]

[@eddiegomez4134]

Kevin cole asked some pretty good questions.

[@truemvp27]

[@Matts_MTB_adventures]

Brilliant! :)

[@Marrss____666]

[@tittyfrance3540]

[@AldoColares]

Conheci essa banda por indicação do canal JHS pedals, no episódio sobre fuzz o Josh indica "Secrets", me apaixonei pelo disco :D

[@HVYMETL]

that drummer - !!!

[@sidfernandez7569]

this band is special, fun to watch, good song writing. finally something worth sharing from this kexp feed. had to watch about 6 lackluster acts here before i found this nice one.

[@losangeleslovesyou]

❤

[@DSilvergun]

This (first song) sounds uncannily like the studio version. Good song.

[@Mike-we4is]

Neil young meets iron butterfly..awsome..TY

[@paulcarpenter3866]

good

[@arthritisankle]

That semi hollow Fender guitar is cool. They’re called Fender Starcaster and were only made back in the 70’-80’s. You can’t find one for less than $4000 these days.

[@aubreyxengland]

IIRC, they did a re-issue a few years back. not sure if the sunburst made it in there though. cheers!

[@npw1982]

Squier just did a version of it that is

[@mightyV444]

I watched her rig rundown video on the Premier Guitar channel this morning (First time I heard about her, too!), and I was surprised to hear her say the Starcaster was quite a heavy guitar! I would've expected it to be as light as an ES335! I haven't tried one yet but have always been intrigued; Good thing there are now more affordable versions than the original :-)

[@therealpotatosack]

She's a real beauty

[@user-Heyman1957]

Deep Sea Diver? KEXP? Rock!

[@scarfycoolcat]

That is the happiest drummer in the world. lol

[@Marrss____666]

+Brandon Stradling I would be also if I was married with Jessica Dobson ;)

[@scarfycoolcat]

Mateus Carneiro Oooooo! la la!

[@ogenmatic]

Shades of Shins influence - good stuff!!

[@michaelluciano1980]

+ogenmatic For sure - She was the guitarist for The Shins ~2012

[@gabrielsalazari9257]

wow :0

[@TobiasA76]

How can every KEXP session be the first session in the new place?

[@ethansapp3473]

I noticed that too, literally every one seems to be the "new place" haha

[@jimmygc]

I said God Damn that good stuff

[@trixwivstix]

She looks like PJ Harvey lil sister. Great band.

[@jimmetcalf6288]

Tremendous sophomore effort.

[@waynegagnon474]

I have to say, i been a shins fan for many a years. I knew they had a female in the band. I did a little digging and found Deep Sea Diver. Great Band.!!!!!! Super Talent. She uses all her influences

[@Mike-we4is]

Biorg has a baby with St Vincent..BUT totally has their own sound..I'm direvetive that I hear early The Cure..Thank you so

[@jesseplouvier6374]

Best Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnddddddddddddddd

[@DeD00RS]

Das ist gut, Mann. Erinnert mich auch an Caroline Rose.

[@MrBubbs-dg2ek]

is that announcer guy Geddy Lee?

[@MaximGolovlev]

See These Eyes 0:51 Creatures Of Comfort 5:00 Secrets 14:21 Great Light 20:07

[@bwood3972]

you sir are a gentleman and a scholar

[@greytoeimp]

👍💋🔥

[@johnfree2833]

Best new stuff,goes with pizza!

[@summerlakes5045]

She should try to use a little compression on her live vocals if possible - to balance the volume out. A little reverb and/or delay wouldn't hurt either.... Awesome otherwise!

[@thebagsnow]

hi-- sorry it took so long to reply, i saw them in concert and showed jessica this comment, they use compression on her vocals at live shows now, sounds great

[@thegreenfish21]

The way he's hitting those drums would have triggered the compressor on her mic way before her voice would have. KEXP are renowned for their great mixes so I reckon this is the best they could do with what they had. Perils of recording live bands in a small space.

[@drywater3559]

my mans with the cans just had to come back and burn meh gurl with that ''its actually about 4 times bigger'' damnnn sonnn

[@jimmenzel967]

I like them, but "Great Light" (short two minute version @ 20:20), with her without the guitar, is much better than the other songs.

[@Slaytanic97]

The bassist seems to a young short haired Jason Newsted!! They're so awesome, and i love the singer (Jessica i ❤ u)

[@peepingtom7629]

Please go solo, i will pay for everything Girl, you got that swirl!

[@peepingtom7629]

That drummer grody brody

[@luwinkre2371]

the drummer is high af, I like him

[@tomhynes86]

the dudes in the band are wearing matching outfits?!?!

[@bobtheboston]

Jesus H Christo was this something

[@DeD00RS]

Das ist gut, Mann. Erinnert mich auch wenig an Caroline Rose.

[@arekpocicki5681]

she

[@accessmemories-0271]

She got rebecca sugar vibes
