Deep Sea Diver is an indie rock band from Seattle led by singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jessica Dobson. Before dedicating herself to the band, Dobson played with artists such as Beck, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Spoon and The Shins.
The band’s sound combines expressive guitars, synthesizers, and memorable melodies, alternating between moments of tension and delicacy. Their songs explore personal emotions with vocal performances that range from intimate moments to intense ones.
The project began in 2009 with the EP New Caves, and took shape as a band alongside drummer Peter Mansen. The debut album, History Speaks, was released in 2012. This was followed by the EP Always Waiting (2014) and their second album, Secrets (2016).
The discography expanded with Impossible Weight (2020) and Billboard Heart (2025), the group’s fourth album and their first release on Sub Pop. In addition to Dobson and Mansen, the lineup featured on this album includes Elliot Jackson on synthesizers.
