Death Cab For Cutie — The Open Door EP

in
By Jen White (CHARTattack) April 29, 2009 10:33 am
The Open Door features four tracks that didn't make the cut for Narrow Stairs, the Bellingham, Wash. quartet's sixth studio album, and a demo version of that album's "Talking Bird." These songs shouldn't for a second be considered leftovers, though. "Little Bribes" is a jaunty track with a bluesy guitar riff, and frontman Ben...

Death Cab Show Kicks Off Tour In Toronto

in
By Sheena Lyonnais (CHARTattack) April 6, 2009 4:28 pm
Death Cab For Cutie kicked off their almost entirely sold-out tour at Toronto's at-capacity Sound Academy on Sunday night to a crowd ranging from decade-long fans to braces-faced kids who either raided their older siblings' record collections or still love The O.C.'s Seth Cohen. The eclectic audience was a testament to Death Cab's ability to stay...

Death Cab Invade Halifax Dalhousie Campus

Post-secondary life never seemed so good until Death Cab For Cutie played on the Dalhousie University campus this past Friday. It was a sublime night for those lucky enough to have texted their way in (or shelled out hundreds of dollars online for a ticket) to the private show. Death Cab were playing at Dalhousie because the school won the...

Death Cab Inspire Massive Love Fest On Olympic Island

Despite The Weather Network threatening thunder showers all weekend, it was a beautiful day for Saturday's love fest on Olympic Island. I arrived on the island about midway through Rogue Wave's set. As I approached the concert area, "Publish My Love" was bleeding out of the speakers to a relaxed and happy crowd. It was still pretty hot...

Death Cab For Cutie — Narrow Stairs

in
By Jen White (CHARTattack) May 13, 2008 10:07 am
When DCFC guitarist/producer Chris Walla described this sixth full-length album as a curve ball, he wasn't joking. Lead single "I Will Possess Your Heart" is a strange jam band type of song that doesn't build in tension like "Transatlanticism," and its eight-plus minutes seem highly unnecessary. When it finally reaches the repetitive chorus of "...

Toronto Venue Foils Franz And Death Cab's Plans

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) April 18, 2006 3:30 pm
It's hard to pin down exactly what made Monday night's Franz Ferdinand/Death Cab For Cutie show a disaster. Was it the abysmal sound at the Ricoh Coliseum? Maybe the annoying fire alarm that kept going off during Death Cab's set? Or it could have been the unlikely pairing of a young new wave rock band with a sensitive Seattle five-piece. Actually...

Stubbs The Zombie: The Soundtrack

in
By Dan "The Mouth" Lovranski (CHARTattack) November 22, 2005 11:56 am
Even though zombies are just the dead reincarnated as staggering lost souls, it doesn't mean that the soundtrack that they do it to has to be lifeless as well. Giving a bunch of current semi-hot bands (including The Flaming Lips, The Dandy Warhols and Death Cab For Cutie) the job of covering some '50s doo wop and pop seems, at least, interesting...

Death Cab For Cutie — Transatlanticism

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) October 7, 2003 10:46 am
Seattle quartet Death Cab For Cutie have upped the emotional ante with Transatlanticism. While many of their brethren focus on melodic structures, Death Cab relies on atmosphere. This time out, it’s a feeling of ennui that fills the record. Death Cab travel from historical revisionism in "The New Year" to recalling of driving home at night and...

WATCH: Death Cab For Cutie - "Underneath the Sycamore" music video

By Colton Eddy (CHARTattack) January 12, 2012 10:19 am
Ben Gibbard & co. remind us how to fall in love again with their cartoon film noir in the Walter Robot collaboration, "Underneath the Sycamore." The Washington band's black and white tale follows a lonely man on his fantastical search for love that results in an ambiguous closure. It's a project that a Death Cab-obsessed Seth Cohen could...

It's fitting that "sleep" is the first word you'll hear when listening to Codes And Keys. 'Cause let's face it, this isn't going to be an album you'll be playing while you're barbecuing at your upcoming block party or house party, or anything else you've got planned for the next few months. While singer/guitarist Ben Gibbard's already gone on...

Video Of The Day: Death Cab For Cutie's "Home Is A Fire"

Death Cab For Cutie worked with Shepard Fairey, the man who designed posters for U.S. president Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, on the clip for "Home Is A Fire." Fairey designed artwork for it, which gets plastered around a city and is a nice tie-in with the song's lyrics. But that's not all - he also co-directed the video with Death...
