The purity pervading Death Vessel’s songwriting and stage performance is refreshing in an industry complicated by jadedness. Joel Thibodeau’s persona is outwardly beautiful and is made more radiant by the childlike nature of his voice. His understanding of the world imbues Death Vessel’s albums with an opacity that never ceases to amaze even the most skeptical of folk fans. Garnering early support from Jose Gonzalez and Jonsí, Death Vessel’s endurance is guaranteed should this clarity continue to be his driving force.
