Description:
Written and sung by Joel Thibodeau. It is unlike anything you've ever heard. People will call it many things. Few will get it right. This is Death Vessel.
Death Vessel's debut album Stay Close was released in 2005 to critical acclaim & was widely heralded for its solid songwriting, its musical ingenuity and for the unique quality of Thibodeau's crooning.Thibodeau's unuusally high pitched vocal delivery is astonishing!
Since that album's release Death Vessel has toured with Iron & Wine, Low & Jose Gonzalez among others.
Recorded with longtime producer/collaborator Pete Donnelly (The Figgs) at his New Jersey studio, and various locales across the northeast, Nothing Is Precious Enough for Us is Death Vessel's Sub Pop debut.
While in recent years Joel has toured primarily as a solo performer, and the songs are inarguably mesmerizing and relevant in that setting, on record they take on a new life, thanks to his and Donnelly's inspired, and often unusual, arrangements, and the contributions of numerous friends and players.
The album musical reach is fully extended-deep into the past, grounded in the present and nodding to the future. Owing to the gritty avarice of Joel's singular spirit, voice and musicality, the songs sound as progressive, experimental and modern as they do antique and old-world. The music is haunting and spiritual, mysterious and kind, ageless and contemporary, soulful and psychedelic.
To watch Death Vessel perform live is to watch an audience under a spell. This applies whether it's just Thibodeau alone with an acoustic guitar or with an expanded lineup that often includes regular contributors to Death Vessel Pete Donnelly (The Figgs) and Erik Carlson (Area C).
