Joel Thibodeau's stratospherically high voice and bright delivery don't sound particularly funereal, but he carries his Death Vessel moniker with unflinching pride. His 2005 release Stay Close was a tautly composed folk record with a delightful sense of mordant wit and old-fashioned poignancy. The album received acclaim in the right indie-critical circles, and Death Vessel scored tours in various band configurations with Iron and Wine, the Books, and Jose Gonzalez. Nothing Is Precious Enough for Us, out this month on Sub Pop, expands the quirk-folk sound with more lush orchestrations and trenchant melodies. Micah Blue Smaldone, former member of celebrated Boston punk outfit Pinkerton Thugs, opens.
