4.0 out of 5 stars Endearing But Not Enduring, 23 Jan 2009
By Gannon (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
Another review, another alt. folk, alt. country, Americana influenced album. If each of them sounded alike I could cease, and simply file under derivative, but there is still life in genre yet.

This album successfully hosts these alt. themes but also houses a true folk ethic, heard in the picked banjo of "Obadiah In Oblivion", as well as more straight-up, quiet-loud indie-rock as can be heard on "Peninsula".

Despite being on Sub Pop, the sound often veers more toward Nebraska and the sound of Saddle Creek, but misses the inimitable and identifiable production of Mike Mogis. As such the album sounds a little like a Rilo Kiley release, or one from Azure Ray, but miss the bite that Mogis provides. And so we move to the inevitable, the voice. Sounding like Jenny Lewis or Orenda Fink is no bad thing, heck these gals can sing. However it is a dude called Joel who fronts Death Vessel, and once this is out in the open we can all move past it comfortably.

His impersonation is so uncanny that the singer's gender is not in question until one reads up about the band. Only at the start of "Exploded View" does he resemble a male vocally, and then only at the track's onset. This amounts to a distinctive sound, but one that is not at all detracting. The greatest problem the record faces is whilst being endearing, is sadly not enduring. Not one of the tracks leaves a lasting impression, in the way that say, similar sounding Iron & Wine do. The mix of influences spread the record a little bit thin, which is peculiar for an album that also sounds quite simple and effective.

5.0 out of 5 stars My most played of 2008, 2 Feb 2009
By Kathy Archbold (waterloo, london United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Probably my favourite discovery of 2008, made entirely by accident, but I just can't believe I never heard of these guys before. Once I did, theirs quickly became the most played tunes on my ipod - there's just no dud tracks.
My theory is their name makes people think they'll be some ghastly goth adolescent doomongering, but in fact it appears to me, along with their excellent first album, as if this band somehow took elements from my entire lifelong music listening history and managed to rewrite and put their spin on the whole damn thing.
It's not very often you are reminded of Nick Cave, The Incredible String Band, Johnny Cash and maybe the soundtrack to "Oliver" sometimes all in the same song.

Even though most people I've played it to think Joel Thibodeau sings like a girl, I've no real objection to that with a voice and songwriting skill as melodically original as his. (They said that about Neil Young too, didn't they?)
Maybe not for everybody, but personally, I just love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not "heavy metal" is it?, 15 Feb 2009
By Peter Rushton "Pete" (Stoke on Trent,UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There`s too much nonsense written in most reviews by people who like to pigeonhole bands and the music they make.I don`t know whay kind of music you`d call this.But it`s good.Is that nonsense enough for you?
