This February, Seattle indie rockers Deep Sea Diver released their highly anticipated second full-length, Secrets, on their recently debuted label High Beam. Led by masterful multi-instrumentalist Jessica Dobson, who has toured with the likes of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Shins, and Beck, the band's new record cohesively brings together songs that are upbeat and often tender. From the modular experimentation of "It Takes a Moment" to the album's title track, Secrets shifts tempos and tone as deftly as an orchestra. The band preserves this warmth live, counting Dobson as one of the Northwest's most promising up-and-coming performers. JENI WREN STOTTRUP
