They have delivered a brilliant album, 11-tracks of pure indie pop that will further prove that Ben Gibbard and crew just can't do wrong.

DC4C's second full length is everything you want from indie-rock: great songs, great lyrics, and ragged-but-right performances. Texturally there's nothing here you've not heard before: various combinations of guitar, drums, and bass. Cabmaster Ben Gibbard's early cassette releases reveal a slightly smug wiseass who thinks he's just okay. But for the recording of this disc, Gibbard's voice is full of confidence. His songwriting/lyrics show a new depth and grow more infectious with repeated listenings. "Compa   [ read more ]

In 1997, before Death Cab for Cutie was a band, Ben Gibbard and Chris Walla made an eight-song cassette. Originally released by Bellingham's Elsinor Records, "You Can Play These Songs With Chords" is a remarkable document of what was to become DCFC. The Barsuk release compiles the original eight songs (five of which were later re-recorded for "Something About Airplanes"), plus 10 tracks of unreleased early recordings, covers, and outtakes from 1997-2000 (taken from recording sessions for "Chords," "Somethin   [ read more ]

This five-song CD-EP features alternate versions of two songs from their brilliant sophomore effort, "we have the facts and we're voting yes," plus three brand new songs. Working in the standard guitar/bass/drums format, with occasional keyboards, there's nothing surprising about their sound. However, it's Ben Gibbard's unique sense of melody and strong emotional vibe that makes hunting down every note by this band a satisfying endeavor. [ read more ]

Originally released last Fall as bonus material for the very limited tour-only version of the acclaimed Photo Album from one of popdom's most beloved groups. Three songs that display the band's beautifully languid side, including their cover of Björk's "All Is Full of Love"--a live favorite--and the title track thirteen-minute epic.

Barsuk and Death Cab for Cutie celebrate the 10th anniversary of the band's classic debut studio album with this deluxe reissue. Still considered by many fans to be DCFC's best album, but criminally unheard by many newer converts other than in the form of the handful of songs that remain staples of the band's live set ("Amputations", "Pictures in an Exhibition", "Fake Frowns"), Something About Airplanes is not just a document of a particular time in the band's history or of a bygone era of indie-rock   [ read more ]

The John Byrd e.p. is the new 7-track CD-EP, featuring live tracks taken from the 2004 spring Transatlanticism tour. Recorded by the bearded and mysterious DCfC touring sound guy, John Byrd, and guitarist/producer Chris Walla, the 7 tracks include songs spanning the band's career (as well as the never-before-released cover of Sebadoh's 'Brand New Love') and some hilarious between-song banter.

As musical lunacy goes, things have gotten as crazy as it gets for Death Cab for Cutie since 2002's You Can Play These Songs with Chords compilation. A wildly successful tour with Dismemberment Plan, a collaboration for singer Ben Gibbard with emo-electronic guru Dntel under the Postal Service moniker, and a whole new legion of fans swooning to Gibbard's lyrics as if he were a modern day answer to Kiss Me-era Robert Smith have all amassed considerable hype around {^Transatla   [ read more ]

The fact that Elsinor and Barsuk, two relatively small labels, conspired to co-release Something About Airplanes should give some indication as to its quality. It's a solid, emotive, and frequently impressive indie rock record that foreshadows Death Cab for Cutie's eventual ascent into the mainstream. Sonically, the band falls somewhere on the dreamier and more pop-oriented end of Built to Spill's sound (particularly on Keep It Like a Secret), alongside the Posies' most pensive tr   [ read more ]

2000's We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes delivered on the promise of You Can Play These Songs with Chords and Something About Airplanes. For once, a band's popularity grew commensurate with its maturation. Despite the heightened attention, singer/songwriter/guitarist Ben Gibbard next let loose Death Cab for Cutie's finest moment, "Photobooth," the lead track on the sparkling Forbidden Love EP. New fans worldwide swooned under its beguiling romantic rise 'n' fall and its lingering, bittersweet, wallet-s   [ read more ]
