"More Deep Cuts" is the second album by the San Francisco band Thee More Shallows. Their debut album "A History of Sport Fishing" received glowing reviews likening them to a diverse host of bands, including Yo La Tengo, Grandaddy, Sparklehorse and GSYBE!, yet lauding them for being more than the sum of their influences. With their Sophomore release TMS have continued to evolve their sound, combining their trademark technicolor-blue vocal melodies with an extended range of sound collage. "More Deep Cuts" is about standing in place while the world whirls around you. As toy pianos and french horns crash into strings and decay into orchestras warped and bent beyond recognition, the sensible, ultra-clear voice of Dee Kesler provides a calm eye to the storm. And it is precisely this juxtaposition of chaos and calm, abandon and resolve, which makes "More Deep Cuts" so compelling. Sitting at the songwriting helm is Dee (David) Kesler, joined by Chavo Fraser and Jason Gonzales sharing drums, samples, keyboards, and bass, and Odessa Chen on guitar and vocals.
