Here's what Julia Mullen Gordon had to say about Death Vessel in the brand new issue of the paper:

Death Vessel, Micah Blue Smaldone
(Tractor) Born in Berlin and raised in Maine, Joel Thibodeau, the man behind Death Vessel, is a Northeasterner come to join the legion of pensive balladeers teasing out melodies in the mossy caves of the Pacific Northwest. In August, Sub Pop released Nothing Is Precious Enough for Us, the follow-up to 2005's Stay Close. Currently based in Providence, Death Vessel fits in almost too comfortably with the nostalgic folk rock of labelmates Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, and Grand Archives. Banjos, mandolins, and fiddles rouse otherwise dreamy fingerpicking to a gallop. But most striking are Thibodeau's ozone-high vocals, lacking vibrato, both childlike and feminine: It's Fleet Foxes's Robin Pecknold in the next register, without the rasp. JULIA MULLEN GORDON

And here are a couple songs to check out:

"Deep in the Horchata" from the album Stay Close

"Bruno's Torso" from the album Nothing Is Precious Enough for Us

To enter, send your first and last name to lineout@thestranger.com with Death Vessel in the subject line. That's it! All entries must be received by 10 am Thursday to be eligible, one winner will be randomly chosen and notified via e-mail.

Update: The winner has been notified--thanks to all who entered!
