Fifty-word review

Nothing Is Precious Enough For Us

Buy It

Death Vessel's newest is both intimate and epic. Intricate arrangements (33 instruments were played on the album) complement Thibodeau's unique alto. Filled with the sweet sounds of finger plucking, and often touching, abstract imagery (much of which I won't pretend to understand), this is music that takes you away.

Reminds us of Joanna Newsom | Iron & Wine | Jose Gonzales
