Deep Sea Diver: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 тра 2021
- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Marissa Lorusso | May 25, 2021
Deep Sea Diver's Jessica Dobson didn't neglect the details for the group's Tiny Desk (home) concert. For starters, she sported an impressive homemade bolo tie that she crafted from an NPR enamel pin and "a little bit of duct tape." She also chose a very particular location for the shoot: "There were countless times this past year that I wanted to be transported out of my house and into a different world," the singer and guitarist explains to NPR via email. "One of my favorite and most inspiring worlds is that of David Lynch's Twin Peaks. I wanted to pay homage to the show by recreating the red room for our Tiny Desk."
Inside the red room, the set includes three tracks from Deep Sea Diver's marvelous 2020 album, Impossible Weight, plus "Stop Pretending," which was chosen as one of NPR Music's favorite songs of 2020. Joining the band are some special guests: Natalie Schepman and Meegan Closner of the band Joseph sing background vocals, and Dobson's Beagle, Henry, makes an appearance. (Dobson claims he's the only one who didn't care that Deep Sea Diver couldn't tour last year.) The performance itself is a testament to the group's attention to detail, too; as in many of the best Tiny Desk concerts, the band's magnetic energy and finely-crafted songs make the small space feel huge and joyous.

came for the Twin Peaks scenario, stayed for the music
Me too. What a good band!
Same
Came for DSD, stayed for the Twin Peaks vibe
I can’t believe there’s other twin peaks fans here. I feel at home.
OMG I looked at the same thing, are they fans or is it just coincidence?

THANKS to NPR TINY DESK
This set and performance is insanely good. Out of hundreds of tiny desk concerts, this is honestly one of my all-time favorites.
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!
Amen to that Metalpug79!
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!

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.
YES, my thought also, do you have any other reccomendation album that are similar on sound and vibe?
Totally agree, haven’t stopped watching the KEXP session as well !!
100% !!
King of Limbs is a favorite too.
Mom I’ve just discovered a truly amazing band.
One of the most talented indie rock bands I have ever seen.
That frontman is doing guitar solos while singing.
🙌❤️
So thrilled Deep Sea Diver scored a seat at the Tiny Desk. Maybe now the world will finally catch up. Absolutely brilliant.
Jessica's guitar work is just tremendous- she really pulls a lot of character out of that Jazzmaster.
One of my favourite bands at the moment this is siccccccccck
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.
I love that moment you discover someone new to love
I have a Beagle named Special Agent Dale Cooper, This makes me very happy!
I have a cat named Special Agent Dale Cooper
Deep Sea Diver is my spirit animal. The guitar solo at the end was historic! Best tiny desk I have seen.
Don’t get much better than Deep Sea Diver... I love Jessica’s guitar tone and voice!
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.
Deep Sea Diver.
Yesss! Peter the drummer is the front-woman’s husband.
Peter is amazing! So much talent in this group!
Ships still one of my favorite songs.
Jessica is phenomenal, the band is stellar, Impossible Weight is impossibly good... and this performance and mix are awesome. Thank you!
One day I'll be the one performing on NPR🤞
Good Luck Bro 💗☁
Goodluck! Rooting for you!
Thats the spirit
Yes! Just go for it! Guys, Check! this guys voice. ;)
Make it happen Cap'n!
I never noticed how fire the bass line is on Stop Pretending until now
I'll be honest, 100% clicked on this for the Twin Peaks set... not my kind of music, but it sounds nice!
Can't understand. The last song (stop pretending) is 100% Twin Peaks. Imho
is it just me or does she look a bit like ronette paulaski?
NPR you rule don’t stop ever doing this! Nothing beats live bands
I love how the whole band is SO happy playing music ... And I love Jessica, she is amazing ♡
My favorite Desk this year. Amazing. And now I'm going to go and buy all the things...
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)
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
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!!
One of the bands i kept coming back to all pandemic. Great to finally see a Tiny Desk from them!
I love DSD! Since 'Juno Song' I was hooked and waited so long for their new album. Thanks Tiny Desk
It's only been up for 7 hours and I've watched it three times.
Wow! I can imagine the joy that a live audience experiences while at a DSD concert. 🌸
absolutely flawless
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.
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.
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.
One of my new favorite bands, and the fact that you're Twin Peaks fans only makes me love you more.
I love the drummer's energy!! All I ever wanted to feel behind a drum kit!
Awsome! So great to see you guys playing live again! Good luck on your up coming tours. Hope to see you live one day.
Awesome set. Guitar tones are brilliant. First heard of you guys from your JHS appearance. Come to Australia. 😀
Stunningly great. This drummer is heroic. Great songs. What a band.
Holy MOLY this is an incredible performance! So much love to you guys!!!
OMG! AND *FREAKING JOSEPH!!!*

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

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 ; )
Impeccable performance!!! Jessica is incredibly talented, one of my favorite bands right now.
Great job! Sounds FANTASTIC! Really well rehearsed. I love this. People playing instruments and singing their songs, what a concept!

Wow the live guitar doubling on the solo is so great! Never seen that before
Wow, incredible performance! The band was tight and the vocals were spot-on. That was a real pleasure.
2 songs in and I'm so happy watching and listening to you!! Sooo nice! Gotta tell you!
I keep coming back to this performance... Can't get tired of Deep Sea Diver, this is absolutely amazing.
It's been weeks and I can't stop listening to this!! Thanks!!
Holy cow, these are great guitars, she rocks !
Can't wait to see you guys live again! Great performance.
You guys rock!! Love tiny desk bringing me so much music I haven't heard
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.
I've been following Jessica since her tour with the Shins. Love the Deep Sea Diver stuff.
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.
Thank you Tiny Desk (and Bob) and DSD (and Joseph)
This band is sick! Love the second song. Thanks once again for another awesome discovery NPR!
Truly amazing band. This is the first time I have heard this band, but definitely not the last.
Wow, what an awesome band. I will definitely start to follow them. Thanks Tiny Desk
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!
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
Great stuff! Had to immediately look you guys up on Spotify 🤘
Everything about this was perfect ❤️
In love with this band and those gnarly sounds!
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!
Can’t stop thinking about/playing this session. Can only say thank you. Like, ALL of you 💜
Genial, muy fresco. Lo que se necesita un martes por la mañana. 😎

I love you guys! Cannot wait to see you live in Seattle sometime hopefully soon.
Love that band!!❤️🎶 And what a drummer🤩
Never heard them before but I love her voice .
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.
The drummer is amazing!
sounds so good. great songs. great performance. great mix.
