Great Night Swimmers

Recently signed Sub Poppers Death Vessel are touring the saloons. Death Vessel is baroque-ier and more ethereal though than, say, Great Lake Swimmers existential lushes. The lead singer, Joel Thibodeau, has a shockingly high voice, enough so that a Dallas Observer reporter had this to say of a recent concert, "a soaring soprano that sounds a hell of a lot like a female Appalachian folk singer; if you didn't look at the stage, you'd swear that sweet singing didn't belong to a person possessing family jewels." (Check out his article, here)

Have to be honest, I also was searching for the female singer pulling the Singing-In-the-Rain act in this video. Death Vessel's newest record, Stay Close, is out now on Sub Pop's shiny indie label. (MP3s are from DV's site.)
