Deep Sea Diver have announced details of a new album titled ‘Billboard Heart’ along with new North American tour dates. Find out ticket details and watch the music video for latest single ‘Shovel’ below.
The new album will mark the fourth studio album from the Seattle band, and their first while signed to Sub Pop. It is set to arrive on February 28 – visit here to pre-order/pre-save.
It is set to include the previously released title track, as well as a new single shared by the band called ‘Shovel’.
Drawing subtle nods to music icons like Kate Bush and Nick Cave, the song also comes alongside a new music video which was filmed in one take and directed by Tyler Kalberg and Deep Sea Diver.
“‘Shovel’ is one of the most angular and dualistic songs I’ve written, and I wanted to do a one-shot video that captured the grit, rawness, and intensity of the song,” said primary songwriter and guitar player Jessica Dobson. “Simply put, it is me digging and dancing with a shovel in the middle of the night, desperately looking for beauty in dark places.”
It has also drawn inspiration from esteemed filmmakers like David Lynch and the Cohen brothers. Check it out below.
As for the sound of the album as a whole, ‘Billboard Heart’ is described as reinventing the expectations of indie rock and capturing the same magnetic values as seen with music from St. Vincent and TV on the Radio.
“It is a coup, a triumph over self-doubt in which what first felt like failure became an opportunity to find new freedom, belief, and strength,” reads a new press release. “You can hear it in each of these 11 songs, the beating heart that makes everything here feel like a new anthem for finding your own way forward.”
The record was written and performed predominantly by Dobson, alongside her partner, drummer and band co-writer Peter Mansen, and synth player Elliot Jackson. Other featured artists on the LP include former The Shins bandmate Yuuki Matthews, Caroline Rose, and Greg Leisz.
As well as announcing the new album, Deep Sea Diver have also shared news of an upcoming North American tour, which is set to kick off later this spring.
The new dates commence with an opening night in Walla Walla, Washington on March 29, and continue throughout the next two months. In April the band will make stops in cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Vancouver, Chicago and Toronto.
From there, the tour concludes with nine shows in May, including gigs in Brooklyn, Washington DC, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Denver and more.
