Release Notes:
--------
This collection of music was written and sung by Joel Thibodeau. It is unlike
anything youΓÇÖve ever heard. People will call it many things. Few will get it
right. This is Death Vessel.
Death VesselΓÇÖs debut album Stay Close was released in 2005 to critical acclaim.
Since that albumΓÇÖs release Death Vessel has toured with Iron & Wine, Low, Jose
Gonzalez, and The Books, among others. Recorded with longtime
producer/collaborator Pete Donnelly (The Figgs) at his New Jersey studio, and
various locales across the northeast, Nothing Is Precious Enough for Us is Death
VesselΓÇÖs Sub Pop debut. While in recent years Joel has toured primarily as a
solo performer, and the songs are inarguably mesmerizing and relevant in that
setting, on record they take on a new life, thanks to his and DonnellyΓÇÖs
inspired, and often unusual, arrangements, and the contributions of numerous
friends and players. The album exudes a unique, wide-scope ambition. Its musical
reach is fully extendedΓÇö-deep into the past, grounded in the present and nodding
to the future. Owing to the gritty avarice of JoelΓÇÖs singular spirit, voice and
musicality, the songs sound as progressive, experimental and modern as they do
antique and old-world. The music is haunting and spiritual, mysterious and kind,
ageless and contemporary, soulful and psychedelic. In short, itΓÇÖs where the
requiem meets rock ΓÇÿnΓÇÖ roll.
ΓÇ£Now I am versed in silence/my throat hurts, not from yelling but from holding
back,ΓÇ¥ Joel sings on ΓÇ£Block My Eye,ΓÇ¥ the albumΓÇÖs opening track. And thatΓÇÖs ok,
because the music speaks for itself. And nothing ever sounded so loud, and so
clear.
