Deep Sea Diver Release Video for New Song “Let Me Go” (Feat. Madison Cunningham)

Billboard Heart Due Out February 28 via Sub Pop

Feb 04, 2025

Deep Sea Diver (the band led by Jessica Dobson) are releasing a new album, Billboard Heart, on February 28 via Sub Pop. Now they have released its third single, “Let Me Go,” which features Madison Cunningham. Watch the song’s video below, followed by Deep Sea Diver’s upcoming tour dates.

The album’s title track, “Billboard Heart,” was shared in September via a music video. It was one of our Songs of the Week. When the album was announced, its second single, “Shovel,” was released via a music video. “Shovel” again landed on Songs of the Week.

Deep Sea Diver is singer and multi-instrumentalist Jessica Dobson, drummer Peter Mansen (also Dobson’s partner), and keyboardist Elliot Jackson. Billboard Heart is their first album for Sub Pop.

Dobson and Mansen directed the “Let Me Go” video with Tyler Kalberg. The video was filmed in Los Angeles on January 5, 2025 and also features Cunningham. It was inspired by French New Wave films.

Dobson had this to say about the song and its video in a press release: “I’ve been wanting to collaborate with Madison for a long time, and I was over the moon when this song came in such an unexpected moment. We were just jamming in the studio and I started playing a guitar riff that I’ve had kicking around since high school that Madison started immediately winding around on her guitar. We looped a drum machine that my co-producer Andy Park started playing and a few hours later most of the song was finished. This song felt effortlessly cool from the start; It reminds me of some of my favorite PJ Harvey songs, full of grit & power. We shot the music video with the same spirit, and as two LA natives who both love the city—we wanted to explore our hometown. Not knowing that it was two days before the LA fires, it has subsequently taken on a new meaning as a love letter to the city we both adore.”

Deep Sea Diver’s last album was 2020’s Impossible Weight, released via High Beam/ATO. Read our interview with Dobson on that album.

Dobson has previously also performed in The Shins and in Beck’s band. Billboard Heart also features Dobson’s former The Shins’ bandmate Yuuki Matthews, Caroline Rose, and Greg Leisz. Dobson produced the album with Andy D. Park (who also mixed the album), with additional production from Adam Schatz. Greg Calbi and Steve Fallone mastered the album.
