Any band so bold as to call themselves The Deaths is asking for trouble, and since their inception they have found plenty of it. Surviving a near-fatal van rollover on tour, and still showing up on time to play the show that night with hospital bracelets on their wrists, The Deaths have earned their name.The band surprises virgin audiences that expect skulls and metal by performing harmonized pop, ghostly waltzes, and dusty instrumentals that linger like cigarette smoke from a departed lover.Their songs can be as cold as their frozen North Dakota roots, or sear your nerves with white-hot flashes of lazy brilliance. Just when you think you have figured them out, they overwhelm you with their own mix of Britpop and sublime Scottish folk, electrified on the altar of late sixties psychedelia.

Choir Invisible is the first nationally available CD by The Deaths, originally a tour- and local-only release on GoJohnnyGo Records. This release has been re-mastered and expanded with new tracks and new digipak artwork.

“The Deaths could petition for a spot in the Elephant 6 collective … runs the gamut of sixties influences, from the obscure (Beau Brummels, Troggs) to the more omnipresent (Bowie) [but] the psychedelia never gets too far out of control that it can’t be wrapped up in a three-minute pop song.” – Austin Chronicle

“If John Lennon made Plastic Ono Band without meeting Yoko, the result would have been akin to these minimalist psychedelic reactionaries who sing about places they’ve never been and experiences they’ve never had.” – Chuck Klosterman, Spin

“The Deaths caress your ears with great songs and make you wanna dance.They are raved about back in the Twin Cities and are the ‘it’ band right now.” – Reader Weekly
