Description
No one makes prettier postmillennial indie rock than Death Cab for Cutie. Frontman Ben Gibbard's indie-rock blues plumb emotional depths with remarkable literary detail. Death Cab's most memorable songs contain snapshots from its walls: Gibbard has sung about an incriminating kiss in a photo booth, discovering forgotten pictures of an ex in his glove compartment, and an especially bleak Kodak moment from a doomed marriage. By the end of their newest release, Narrow Stairs, Gibbard has gained a deep understanding of lovelessness and the way people live in its quiet wreckage.
