Death Cab For Cutie
Narrow Stairs
In stores: May 13, 2008
It is very apparent that the major label success of “Plans” in 2005 has led to a level of artistic freedom that Death Cab has really run with. Ben Gibbard typically writes a great deal of the band’s songs on the computer, and the piano. This album, admittedly, was written mostly on guitar. Death Cab’s Jason McGerr sums it up best “if Transatlanticism was an inhale, Plans is the exhale.” It was nice to see Death Cab come out with this album, which breaks the mold really, as their first release in almost three years. From start to finish, it is a fantastic listen. They have changed enough to keep their fans on their toes, while keeping the classic Death Cab for Cutie tone, and heart-melting Ben Gibbard vocals. I urge everyone to pick this record up on May 13, 2008 when it hits stores.
