We are incredibly, Incredibly pleased to announce to you this morning, our new single, “Impossible Weight” is out. I could not be prouder to present this song that means the world to me— and features one of my favourite artists in the world, Sharon Van Etten. It was such an absolute pleasure to work with someone that has been a true inspiration to me and specifically while writing and recording this song.
Along with it, we are releasing a music video that is one of my proudest moments as an artist. A moment where we can present visuals that speak to this season—a time of loneliness, of desolation, but also of beauty. I wanted to create something very triumphant and beautiful in a year that has been the opposite of those things.
I want to ask you, if you are willing, to come alongside of us today. This is a terribly difficult season for musicians. Without touring, it is almost impossible to get our music out into the world. Like all bands, shows have always been the way in which we sell the majority of records and promote our albums. Right now, that is simply not an option for us. SO.. we humbly ask of you…. If you would like to help us succeed and you believe in us—SPREAD THE WORD. Post about our song / music video today. Word of mouth is Always the best way forward for us. Follow us on Spotify, Youtube, etc.. Like our comments and comment yourself on our posts—as that alters the algorithm that can enable our music to get out to more and more people. The more people that hear and enjoy our music, the more sustainable this can be for us.
We love you and have been excited about this day for so long. This song is one of my favourites, and the video is so badass. Hope you enjoy it and we truly hope to see you soon. XO
Jessica and Deep Sea Diver
Dobson’s Deep Sea Diver bandmates include her husband Peter Mansen (drums), Garrett Gue (bass), and Elliot Jackson (guitar, synth). Impossible Weight is the band’s third album. The band entered the studio not long after the touring cycle for their sophomore album, 2016’s Secrets.
“We went into the studio pretty quickly after the tour ended, and I sort of hit a wall where I was feeling very detached from making music, and unable to find joy in it,” Dobson reveals. “I realized I had to try to rediscover my voice as a songwriter, and figure out the vocabulary for what I needed to say on this album.”
Deep Sea Diver is Jessica Dobson Peter Mansen Garrett Gue & Elliot Jackson. Just when I thought I couldn’t love this band any more than I do, they totally proved me wrong.
