New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Seattle's Deep Sea Diver have announced a U.S. tour kicking off next month in Portland, Oregon and continuing across the country and back through October. The tour includes dates opening for fellow Northwesterners Death Cab For Cutie, an extensive co-headlining run with experimental pop artist
Diane Coffee, an appearance at Firefly Festival in Dover, Delaware, and three California shows supporting Australian indie rockers Middle Kids.
Deep Sea Diver was recently featured on NPR Music's Tiny Desk (Home) concerts, performing three tracks from their acclaimed 2020 LP Impossible Weight as well as the standalone single "Stop Pretending" - which was named one of NPR Music's 100 Best Songs of 2020. NPR called the performance "a testament to the group's attention to detail, too; as in many of the best Tiny Desk concerts, the band's magnetic energy and finely-crafted songs make the small space feel huge and joyous."

Deep Sea Diver's Impossible Weight is the first record
Jessica Dobson - a long sought-after guitarist who has played with Beck, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and the
Shins - has self-produced. The album's title track is an incredible collaboration with Sharon Van Etten, and NPR
Music named the single "Stop Pretending," a standalone single written during quarantine, one of its 100 Best Songs of 2020, writing, "out of pandemic fear and the depths of despair came this beautiful quarantine classic." Impossible Weight was named KEXP's #1 Album of 2020, and American Songwriter hailed it as "the strongest and most powerful statement yet from a talent on the verge of breaking out."
