_______________________________________________________________________
At the top of many best of 2005 lists, and for good reason. That voice!
Those indie-folky sensibilities we all know and love! Apparently a great
live presence, so check him out and hand him your money. Between him and
Micah Blue Smaldone, there's a new folk regime on the way in(move over
Devendra).
Death Vessel is brainchild of Rhode Island's folk/country singer/
songwriter Joel Thibodeau, who sings in a high, feminine, pre-puberal
register.
Stay Close (North East Indie, 2005) contains simple singalongs such as
Mean Streak and Break the Empress Crown as well as more lively lullabies
such as Later in Life Lift. He is not afraid of pay homage to old-time
music (Mandan Dink) and bluegrass (Tidy Nervous Breakdown). If these are
the tunes that capture the ear at first listening, Thibodeau has much
more to offer at a deeper level: his ability to craft dramatic atmospheres
is quite unique, not because of the intensity (which is never
overwhelming) but because of the way he does it, choosing to sneak into
the psyche via back doors in oddly conjured songs such as Blowing Cave
and Nothing Left To Bury.
