Watch Deep Sea Diver’s first music video, “NWO”, from their debut album History Speaks.

The singer and guitarist of the band, Jessica Dobson (who is currently touring with The Shins) talks about the experience making the video on their website:

A few months ago, I called up our ridiculously talented friend, Matt Wignall (who also recorded most of “History Speaks”), and told him it was time to make a music video. A week later, he flew up from CA to our hood and we spent the next two nights climbing in the woods, and filming as much as we could with one camera and a single light. Theres a very closely cradeled spirit about everything connected to History Speaks. We paid for and put out this record ourselves, and although its more work than we ever imagined, we are thankful that we get to work alongside our friends who we deeply respect.                                                                          

I know Matt Wignall as the main dude of Havalina Rail Co., whose albums I could generally find at the neighboorhood Christian-music shop. They were shambolic as hell. Their Russian Lullabyes was a kind of proto-Rise Above, insofar as Havalina attempted to channel the Motherland without ever having visited.
