Song of the Week: Body on the Tracks

Feeling some SXSW nostalgia, I went in search of performances of artists I admired who I wasn't able to catch during that week. In the process, I stumbled upon the video below of a Mississippi show by Deep Sea Diver, the solo project of Jessica Dobson who had worked with the likes of Spoon, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Shins. This track comes from their sophomore album Secrets, released earlier this year, whose songs brush the fringes of synthpop, shoegaze, progressive rock and post-punk revival in a way that doesn't delve headlong into any one of these genres but instead uses them as cardinal directions for a musical compass with its center in indie rock.
