Deep Sea Diver: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

[@fedemarquez]

came for the Twin Peaks scenario, stayed for the music

[@drworm73]

Me too. What a good band!

[@jujubadegoma100]

Same

[@bestofjillhives]

Came for DSD, stayed for the Twin Peaks vibe

[@Jimberino760]

I can’t believe there’s other twin peaks fans here. I feel at home.

[@antonellalencina7535]

OMG I looked at the same thing, are they fans or is it just coincidence?

[@anthonynilsson492]

THANKS to NPR TINY DESK

[@Ranakade]

One of the most talented indie rock bands I have ever seen. That frontman is doing guitar solos while singing. 🙌❤️

[@kevbob]

Jessica's guitar work is just tremendous- she really pulls a lot of character out of that Jazzmaster.

[@Metalpug79]

Deep Sea Diver and Jessica Dobson have been a favorite of mine for quite a few years now, they never disappoint when we're lucky enough to get new music from them! They truly deserve to be heard and loved by way more music fans. If this is the first time you're hearing them play, jump on board cause there's always room for more of you on this train! Tell your friends, tell your Mom & Dad and siblings too!

[@anthonytonycorso7550]

Amen to that Metalpug79!

[@grantmorgan1104]

Beck, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Shins. So glad Jessica is getting some solo attention! She's one of the best guitarists and artists out there!

[@natehill1370]

This set and performance is insanely good. Out of hundreds of tiny desk concerts, this is honestly one of my all-time favorites.

[@daviddockery20]

One of my favourite bands at the moment this is siccccccccck

[@hacmia8708]

After a month of binge listening... Impossible Weight is seriously one of the best albums I've heard since Radiohead's in rainbows. Incredible band. Thanks NPR.

[@glorysurabaya5140]

YES, my thought also, do you have any other reccomendation album that are similar on sound and vibe?

[@alastairs3727]

Totally agree, haven’t stopped watching the KEXP session as well !!

[@scottkowalski7325]

100% !! King of Limbs is a favorite too.

[@edmundau-yeung9598]

Mom I’ve just discovered a truly amazing band.

[@saflickan]

Brilliant pick as always, NPR. Never heard of Deep Sea River and absolutely love them already. Can we please talk about the drummer? Incredibly creative, intense and musical playing.

[@tonybrooks476]

Deep Sea Diver.

[@emmaripley9688]

Yesss! Peter the drummer is the front-woman’s husband.

[@bradenadams6351]

Peter is amazing! So much talent in this group!

[@Jimberino760]

The twin peaks lodge theme made me an instant fan. I didn’t realize it at first either. Music rocks, vocals killen, everything solid. So fricken rad. Oh my god.

[@justinpotts390]

So thrilled Deep Sea Diver scored a seat at the Tiny Desk. Maybe now the world will finally catch up. Absolutely brilliant.

[@buranopeach5245]

I love that moment you discover someone new to love

[@musiclife2807]

Don’t get much better than Deep Sea Diver... I love Jessica’s guitar tone and voice!

[@michaelkay611]

Jessica is phenomenal, the band is stellar, Impossible Weight is impossibly good... and this performance and mix are awesome. Thank you!

[@travismegale6796]

Awesome set. Guitar tones are brilliant. First heard of you guys from your JHS appearance. Come to Australia. 😀

[@buaboy]

I have a Beagle named Special Agent Dale Cooper, This makes me very happy!

[@sam_zach]

I have a cat named Special Agent Dale Cooper

[@bralph82]

Ships still one of my favorite songs.

[@deansantos8915]

I never noticed how fire the bass line is on Stop Pretending until now

[@dexter471]

Great show. Even more impressive when you consider this whole set was performed backwards and then the footage reversed to provide the video we're watching now

[@HBJSpiegel]

WHAT a delightful find. Meegan and Natalie of Joseph fame. WOW, to the wow. I am head over heels here with harmonic euphoria. WHAT a rush. Endocrine storm. My grown son and conservatory student peeled away from Penn Law to join me seeing Joseph at World Cafe Live in Philly. He was awestruck. Sibling harmonies are dope. If you haven't seen it yet, please enjoy the Joseph Tiny Desk (top 5 easily for me)

[@brianmonday639]

One of my new favorite bands, and the fact that you're Twin Peaks fans only makes me love you more.

[@esteban_666]

I love how the whole band is SO happy playing music ... And I love Jessica, she is amazing ♡

[@VioletMused]

Guitar tone is fantastic as you would expect, love Jessica's voice. the band sounds great.... the harmonies at the end of Wishing though: that was magical. that moment just sounded incredible in a way I can't articulate and completely threw me. I had to rewind it immediately after the song ended. wow. (the whole performance is amazing that part just really made me feel something)

[@staceysmith967]

My favorite Desk this year. Amazing. And now I'm going to go and buy all the things...

[@win_jayden]

I'll be honest, 100% clicked on this for the Twin Peaks set... not my kind of music, but it sounds nice!

[@RVSO1]

Can't understand. The last song (stop pretending) is 100% Twin Peaks. Imho

[@SpeedyPu]

is it just me or does she look a bit like ronette paulaski?

[@danielirvine7468]

NPR you rule don’t stop ever doing this! Nothing beats live bands

[@dominickcritelli5631]

Dang! I already knew they were awesome but I was still surprised by how good that was. You can definitely hear the Shins influence but they've done a great job molding that into their own thing. Love it.

[@gavinbrenesdutch9134]

Sounds amazing. I didn't know this band and after seeing this and hearing the 'Impossible weight' album on repeat for the last couple of days i've become a fan. Superb stuff.

[@HughJassBite]

I've been following Jessica since her tour with the Shins. Love the Deep Sea Diver stuff.

[@MooseSuperDawg]

Can't get these here songs outta my head!! The World is in need of your tunes - keep on playin' em.

[@johnrasmussen4144]

Stunningly great. This drummer is heroic. Great songs. What a band.

[@thearchivist250]

It's only been up for 7 hours and I've watched it three times.

[@jamestree6697]

I love DSD! Since 'Juno Song' I was hooked and waited so long for their new album. Thanks Tiny Desk

[@khulanicephasmziba6748]

One day I'll be the one performing on NPR🤞

[@cloudy214]

Good Luck Bro 💗☁

[@eurus3742]

Goodluck! Rooting for you!

[@chrisk23571]

Thats the spirit

[@Javzes]

Yes! Just go for it! Guys, Check! this guys voice. ;)

[@DavidMatias79]

Make it happen Cap'n!

[@deeliciousplum]

Wow! I can imagine the joy that a live audience experiences while at a DSD concert. 🌸

[@DIGITAL7Media]

YES!! This is the kind of music I have been hoping to hear from NPR for months now. Dedicated new fan. I will now proceed to watch every video of theirs on YT ; )

[@robotsongs]

Holy MOLY this is an incredible performance! So much love to you guys!!! OMG! AND *FREAKING JOSEPH!!!* OMG OMG!! AND *FREAKING NPR BOLO TIE!!!*

[@strangebirdsir]

One of the bands i kept coming back to all pandemic. Great to finally see a Tiny Desk from them!

[@danstirling7386]

Love this! Great new find for me. Also seeing Eli made me nostalgic Richard Swift’s early tours 😢

[@gimmetheremote]

I saw DSD play just before the pandemic along with Joseph. It was an incredible show! I'm happy to see they are still playing together here.

[@jacobgonring8500]

So awesome that you had Natalie and Meegan with you!! Your show with Joseph on Valentine's Day in Madison was the last concert I went to before everything shut down. So seeing you all again not only brings back good memories, but makes me hopeful that live music will be back soon!

[@MoystonFault]

Thank you Tiny Desk (and Bob) and DSD (and Joseph)

[@InAverySilentWay]

Thank you Deep Sea Diver for this wonderful performance! These are some of the songs that helped pull me through last year and made me feel a measure of hope in times of deep uncertainty. Watching and listening to this performance is the sound of the ecstasy of hope. I sincerely hope to see DSD in concert for the first time in the near future.

[@BogoljubTeofilovic]

loooooving the passion of the backing vocalists!

[@BogoljubTeofilovic]

OH MY GOD IT'S JOSEPH

[@archivemanager]

@Jun Waddington I guess it's a matter of personal opinion. I'm a back vocalist and ppl always tell me (including my fellow band members) that I don't dance enough. I think some ppl find it awkward to see a back vocalist just standing there, even though we don't expect instrumentists to do the same and it absolutely doesn't mean that we're not vibing lol

[@marianhreads]

@Jun Waddington totally agree

[@albertofigueroa7829]

gosh, this version of stop pretending is pure bliss

[@BillRouck]

11:16 - 12:05 is my favorite part. Would love to see a live setlist that starts with Impossible Weight album track one and goes through ten, encore with Stop Pretending and See These Eyes. I think the whole IW album needs to be played live, and if you haven't bought it yet then buy it. I literally had to give up listening to this album for Lent this year because it was the only way to force a break from it to listen to other new stuff.

[@Pandamasque]

I honestly expected them to play and sing backwards.

[@Shygster]

That guitar, the playing, the sound... *chef kiss* perfecto.

[@JBSchroth]

The Tiny Desk ^Home Concerts have been one of the brightest of the bright spots during the pandemic - and this one is a perfect example! Thanks so much!

[@missmillie4889]

This is SICK!! Been a fan for a long time and finally got to see you open for Joseph in Louisville, Ky!! SOOOO COOL to see y’all on TINY DESK OMG!!! 💜💜💜💜

[@sebastianalex7900]

Impeccable performance!!! Jessica is incredibly talented, one of my favorite bands right now.

[@rulefollowermusic]

Wow the live guitar doubling on the solo is so great! Never seen that before

[@bikesbeardsbeers94]

Heard these guys open for Death Cab for Cutie the other night. They are simply stunning live and really know how to create the “dreamy” atmosphere. I will absolutely be looking to catch them on the road again in the future.

[@amira978]

I’ve been eagerly waiting for you to have a tiny desk concert, and it’s as amazing as I had hoped!!! Can’t wait to see you live again in the future!!

[@ruanlslima]

I love the drummer's energy!! All I ever wanted to feel behind a drum kit!

[@joefish6546]

Songwriting is great, performance is very great, but then there's something else from these guys that just blows up the quality of the music. I can't put my finger on it other than I think it's just their 'feel' while they play. Like they're really squeezing every last drop of great out of each bar. Love it, thanks!

[@glennmcmullen5192]

Between the awesome performance AND the twin peaks set design..... WOWEE

[@TechVdot8]

So glad this band is getting some shine

[@mightyV444]

Thank you for the bandcamp message that led me here! Great music, as always! And cute doggie, too! 😍

[@jeanwagner1977]

[@bwahahahahahaha]

Thanks for getting Deep Sea Diver on Tiny Desk. It is one of my favourite bands and their last album is AMAZING. Oh and of course, this is perfect.

[@seanmichaelhurley]

Just fabulous.

[@Amy-np4nk]

Truly amazing band. This is the first time I have heard this band, but definitely not the last.

[@courtneyjulep8063]

rewatching and loving this so much. best tiny desk concert and best surprise twin peaks nod. all the love for deep sea diver.

[@joelgutierrez1657]

The drummer Wow !! That’s how you play after pandemic days thanks NPR amazing as always!

[@matthewjames206]

Fantastic drummer. Though his kit looks kind of janky. 😕

[@calicosky9863]

Yoo i just randomly click this one, and watched till the end. I love the energy, great guitar playing, unique vocal, and catchy melody all over the tracks. Im a new fans

[@PabloEspinozaPablolein]

I keep coming back to this performance... Can't get tired of Deep Sea Diver, this is absolutely amazing.

[@kierstenmh]

okayyyyy but 12:50 🙌 yes plz.

[@burgesssam]

we love the twin peaks

[@SottileGioia]

i may be locked in the black lodge but the music's amazing here

[@sixthdutch]

Wow, incredible performance! The band was tight and the vocals were spot-on. That was a real pleasure.

[@cornonthecobbob]

Third time watching this week. Was a fan of "Impossible Weight" before, but have gotten really into the album since this. Eagerly awaiting tour dates!

[@RVSO1]

Great! DSD is such a awesome live act. Can*t wait to see you one stage. Maybe sometime in Europe?

[@monocelho]

gotta thank NPR for outting me on to this

[@jessicacowan8784]

Impossible Weight Lyrics This is what it feels like Walking in a straight line Stray talk clicking in my ear This is what it feels like Cliff dive broken mind Wondering how I got here A million times tongue tied Spit it out Never mind I think I'm addicted to the fear Stutter in my heart From the hurry up Stop dragging my heels around Dragging my heels around But that was then and this is now I tried so hard not to let you all down It's an impossible weight So I'll just let you down now Steady as the wheel turns On my way it's OK Picking up the pieces Put 'em down Stutter in my heart From the hurry up Stop dragging my heels around Dragging my heels around Dragging my heels around But that was then and this is now I tried so hard not to let you all down But that was then and this is now I tried so hard not to let you all down It's an impossible weight So I'll just let you down now It's an impossible weight It's an impossible weight But that was then and this is now I tried so hard not to let you all down It's an impossible weight So I'll just let you down now

[@snowstrobe]

I enjoyed where the Light's Out track ended up...

[@benspeeds]

An absolute force of nature

[@brandonmason388]

I got to see them live for the first time the other night and it was electrifying. I had to come online to try to find more live stuff from the new record. It’s in short supply right now but hopefully there will be more coming.

[@bernardbrennan1612]

Only discovered Deep Sea Diver today. Beautiful music. The Black Lodge setting is perfect.

[@cneubauer2]

absolutely flawless

[@imslicc]

the drummer is amazing. they're all so tight.

[@AmateurBlonde]

Great job! Sounds FANTASTIC! Really well rehearsed. I love this. People playing instruments and singing their songs, what a concept!

[@emilianomarquez1629]

Holy cow, these are great guitars, she rocks !

[@kitty79532]

Never heard them before but I love her voice .

[@roamingwesty]

2 songs in and I'm so happy watching and listening to you!! Sooo nice! Gotta tell you!

[@at_oussama]

i saw the thumbnail and was like this is definitely my type of music ♥️

[@JeLLoCowboy]

Sounds even better than the album, gawdamn

[@stevenvenn]

Love the nod to Twin Peaks with the set design. Nice one, peeps! Sleater-Kinney 2021, this is how you do it (and you used to too).

[@johnable917]

The drummer is amazing!

[@jonathanbyrdmusic]

Elijah Thomson is a secret weapon!

[@talmichles3260]

Awsome! So great to see you guys playing live again! Good luck on your up coming tours. Hope to see you live one day.

[@compassionatenature]

Cheers, all! Jessica embodies the rock ethos in this set. The guitar is putty in her hands. The amp is her step-stool. The room is red and Twin-Peak-ish! It’s all to be in love with, and a real appetizer for the festival next hosting this fine outfit.

[@Dizzula]

How have I never heard these before? Excellent stuff, gonna buy Impossible Weight right now!

[@michaelduran9072]

One of the best TD concerts--great to see real talent and songs. Some of the acts on TD are just recycling 90s indie pop. This is real deal music. Kudos.

[@PcGameGold]

Where's agent Cooper? Good songs the singer looks like Patti Smith!, risky at the end if you fell off that speaker it would have made this a classic!

[@sims4u422]

Seems like a great band, performance and songs.

[@juanireppucci589]

It's been weeks and I can't stop listening to this!! Thanks!!

[@ryancrowther6754]

Absolute wizards. Incredible.

[@RealEstateAgentSF]

So thankful to have found Deep Sea Diver today.

[@brintparks4895]

Killer percussion! And feel good Bass lines. This doesn't happen everyday
