Deep Sea Diver
Band Formed 2007 indie pop rock band from Seattle, WA, USA
Deep Sea Diver formed in 2007. Deep Sea Diver has 25 chart appearances on 23 radio countdowns from 14 stations on RockLists, spanning 2019–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Impossible Weight”, which appears on 11 lists with a best position of #33. The station that charted Deep Sea Diver most often is KXT (Dallas–Fort Worth, TX), with 3 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2025.
Jessica Dobson has fronted Deep Sea Diver since 2007, and the Seattle band has grown up around her voice, guitar and keys, with her husband behind the drums from the start and Elliot Jackson (guitar, synthesizer) and Garrett Gue (bass) on board since around 2012. She put out the New Caves EP under the band's name in 2009, and the first full-length, History Speaks, came out on their own High Beam Records in 2012, while she was also touring as a member of the Shins.
Secrets followed in 2016, self-released again. In April 2020, stuck in COVID-19 lockdown, they recorded and put out "Stop Pretending", and their third album, Impossible Weight, a slow-burning, gorgeously tense record whose title track presses down just like its name, was voted the top album of 2020 by KEXP's Seattle listeners. They opened a string of dates on Pearl Jam's fall 2023 North American tour, then signed with Sub Pop in September 2024.
Billboard Heart arrived in 2025, and "What Do I Know", "Shovel" and the title song show a band sharpening its hooks without letting go of the tension.
