Deep Sea Diver’s Billboard Heart immediately puts the band in the company of St. Vincent, TV on the Radio, and Flock of Dimes, bands that have found newly ornate and magnetic ways to make indie rock by discarding notions of how it must sound or what it must say. Dobson punches through her past here. As she howls during Billboard Heart’s rapturous title track, she is “welcoming the future by letting go of it.”
 
It is a triumph over self-doubt in which what first felt like failure became an opportunity to find new freedom, belief, and strength. You can hear it in each of these eleven songs, the beating heart that makes everything here feel like a new anthem for finding your own way forward.
 
Billboard Heart was written and performed by primary songwriter and guitar player Jessica Dobson, and her partner, drummer and band co-writer Peter Mansen, and synth player Elliot Jackson. The album also features  Dobson’s duet with Madison Cunningham (on “Let Me Go”), with additional contributions from former The Shins’ bandmate Yuuki Matthews, Caroline Rose, and Greg Leisz. Billboard Heart was produced by Jessica Dobson and Andy D. Park, with additional production from Adam Schatz, mixed by Park, and mastered by Greg Calbi and Steve Fallone.
 
Billboard Heart, which features the official videos for the title track“Let Me Go (feat. Madison Cunningham)”  “Shovel,” and “What Do I Know,” is available on CD/LP/DSPs from Sub Pop. LPs purchased from megamart.subpop.com (US), Mega Mart 2 (UK/EU)Deep Sea Diver’s Official WebsiteBandcampyour local record store, and the band’s live shows will receive the limited Loser edition vinyl on Transparent Pink (North America), Glacial Blue (Bandcamp North America), and Opaque Pink (UK/Europe) (All limited edition vinyl colors available while stock lasts!). The Billboard Heart cover image is shot by photographer Neil Krug and from his “Spirit II” photo series.
 
What People Are Saying About Deep Sea Diver’s Billboard Heart:
“Frontwoman Jessica Dobson’s powerful voice and gnarled guitar solos grant the Seattle band’s propulsive, riff-laden indie rock a new level of yearning intensity.” Pitchfork
 
“Billboard Heart could propel Deep Sea Diver to the greatest of heights: mild indie stardom. Or at least it should, because this record is very good. But even if they aren’t headlining Pearl Jam-sized arenas this time next year, the sounds of Billboard Heart could fill one.” PASTE
 
“There is plenty to unpack with plenty of anthemic moments but also moments of calm that help the epic tracks to soar even more. Dobson’s vocals and guitar work are both captivating throughout in a record that rarely has a dull moment and is full of spirit and spark from start to finish.” CLASH
 
“The sleek, dramatic title track sets the stage with a lush, grooving indie rock bolstered by shimmery synths, textured guitar effects, and a somewhat oversaturated sound that permeates and distinguishes the album.” ★★★★  All Music
​​
“Dobson’s slightly wounded vocals and scuzzy guitar; a slick, keyboard-festooned backdrop and, even on the straightforward hushed ‘Loose Change’ and the relatively spartan ‘Always Waving Goodbye,’ a sense of galloping ur-gency. Madison Cunningham drops in to add guitar and Pierces-style harmonies on ‘Let Me Go,’ but Dobson is the star of her own show, from the cascading choruses of ‘See In The Dark’ to the title track’s stylish chimes, and in ‘What Do I Know’ she may have found Deep Sea Diver’s key to crossover.” ★★★★ MOJO
 
“…Earmarked by crunchier guitars, soaring synths, and the occasional heavy drum fill (often explosion-like, as on ‘What Do I Know’). What results is a record of vast diversity and glittering dream pop, the unifying feature being Dobson’s excellent solo playing on guitar.” 8/10, Under the Radar
 
“Pop grandeur, gnarly fundamentalist hardcore, iridescent psych, gothic elegance, electro-rock drama and anthemic tunes with a cathedral-like grandeur - Jessica Dobson’s band serve up all of them here, so you wonder why DSD aren’t as big as Florence + The Machine…songs such as ‘Shovel,’ ‘See In The Dark’ and ‘Emergency’ punch and swagger with a defiant dose of rock’n’roll pomp and circumstance.” UNCUT

“‘Get Still’ is built from synthetic pieces — deep sub-bass, electronic drums, Alan Sparhawk’s voice so heavily Auto-Tuned that it no longer sounds recognizably human. In its gooey melody, you can still hear some ghost of Low’s beauty. Here, Sparhawk pushes the electronic explorations of Low’s late-period records way beyond reason, finding something weird and powerful in the process.“Get Still” is built from synthetic pieces — deep sub-bass, electronic drums, Alan Sparhawk’s voice so heavily Auto-Tuned that it no longer sounds recognizably human.

“…the distorted vocals were put through T C Helicon C-1 hard pitch pedal, and the disorienting results are surreal, but also intensely emotive. You’re left with the sense of someone grappling with absence, the space in his life leaving a colossal void; somehow, amidst all this, Alan Sparhawk is still moving forwards, and the will to continue make ‘Get Still’ a gripping experience.” - CLASH
 
“…this is a record that ultimately finds Sparhawk turning pain into a kind of spiritual beauty” - Uncut ‘Album of the Month’
 
“…viscerally inventive within its closed sound world: snaking, slurred, and often anarchically fun.” - Pitchfork
 
“Like almost everything Sparhawk creates, it is beautiful, but also very heavy, as you might expect, with grief at its core.” - Brooklyn Vegan
 
“White Roses, My God is a glance at Sparhawk’s musical sketchbook that’s somehow both unrehearsed and constructed with care, enjoyable and unknowable, as transient as it is profound. It may be somewhat unexpected in form, but its compelling content should come as no surprise” - Under the Radar
 
“…minimalist and elegiac, at once teasing, fracturing, and stumbling upon emotions through the means of vocal manipulation and technological rigidity ” -Our Culture
 
“Made by Sparhawk entirely on his own, White Roses is the sound of someone searching for his voice, a new way to articulate the love they shared and all that is missed.” - The Quietus

Father John Misty is announcing new US headlining shows for September 2025 in support of Mahashmashana. The new dates begin Sunday, September 14th in Denver, CO at The Mission Ballroom and end Thursday, October 2nd in Fayetteville, AR at JJ’s Live. Support for these dates will come from Jagjaguwar Records act Cut Worms. Fan presales begin Wednesday, April 9th at 10 am (local; password HONEYBEAR) with tickets on sale to the general public on Friday, April 11th at 10 am (local).

Built to Spill’s current lineup is comprised of founder band Doug Martsch, bassist Melanie Radford, and drummer Teresa Esguerra. Built to Spill’s When The Wind Forgets Your Name, and There’s Nothing Wrong With Love, are now available from Sub Pop.
 
Yo La Tengo are Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan, and James McNew. For nearly thirty years the trio have enjoyed success entirely on their own terms – playing the world’s best concert halls, museums, and dives, dominating critics’ lists, and sharing stages with some of the most important musicians of our time. In 2023, the group released its critically acclaimed sixteenth album, This Stupid World, which the New York Times dubbed “A timeless, quietly poignant distillation of the band’s singular essence” and Stereogum praised as “Another staggering collection of music.”

I couldn’t agree more.”

Yuno has also announced headline shows in support of Blest beginning Wednesday, June 18th in Cambridge, MA at Middle East Upstairs,  a hometown album release show on Thursday, June 19th at Brooklyn, NY’s Baby’s All Right, and Friday, June 20th in Washington, DC at DC9.
