Death Vessel: Nothing is Precious Enough for us (Sub Pop)

Death Vessel: Nothing is Precious Enough for us (Sub Pop) - Death Vessel is the off-kilter folk rock project of Joel Thibodeau (Pronounced “Joelle”).  With help from the Pete Donnelly (The Figgs) and a few others, Nothing is Precious Enough For Us is his sophomore LP and Sub Pop debut.  He sings with a powerful, high and clear voice, while a myriad of instruments and found sounds develop a sonic pallet that’s rich with homespun flair, and largely avoids becoming overblown.  Recommended.
