Billboard Heart

Description

Billboard Heart, the band’s fourth album and first for Sub Pop, immediately places Deep Sea Diver alongside St. Vincent, TV on the Radio, and Flock of Dimes, groups that have found new ornamental and magnetic ways of making indie rock. Here, Jessica Dobson wipes the slate clean on her past. After a break and a creative dry spell, she rediscovered meaning in her art, confidence in her vision for her band and her songs. The album is a tour de force, a triumph over self-doubt, in which what was first felt as a failure became an opportunity to find new freedom and new strength. You can hear it in each of these 11 songs, the beating heart that makes everything here feel like a new anthem for finding your own path. Billboard Heart was produced by Jessica Dobson and Andy D. Park, with additional production by Adam Schatz. It was mixed by Park and mastered by Greg Calbi and Steve Fallone.
