Deep Sea Diver
Melissa Wax
Deep Sea Diver is an indie rock band led by singer, songwriter, guitar player Jessica Dobson who brings a level of smooth melodic deftness as well as an indie pop type stylistic finish to the band's music. There are also some vague Americana vibes, especially in their earlier work. Dobson projects plenty of power with her voice, though her real head turner has to be her guitar work. She typically keeps it low-key, lying low until it is time to let it rip, as one would expect from a seasoned ensemble player. When she unleashes the fuzz, it is forceful but under control. The rest of the band reciprocates this by performing as a tight unit, including their driving bass lines and steady-as-a-rock drum beats.
