Listen Before You Buy

Though bringing to mind Built To Spill and Death Cab For Cutie, Family Lumber are not only good, but a refreshing juggernaut that more than stands on its own two feet. The “Look To The Sidelines” EP already sounds like a classic and its not even a year old.

A gorgeous little video for Death Cab For Cuties next single.

TweetShare A few days ago Frightened Rabbit embarked on a supporting tour with Death Cab For Cutie across the U.S., and as they’re prone to do on a daily basis the band were posting updates about it on their Twitter/Facebook pages. One such update said this: “Those of you at The Grog Shop tonight get [...]

TweetShare You may never have heard of Ride, but chances are you’ve heard of Death Cab For Cutie, so let me give a little insight as to who the former are. In the late 80′s and early 90′s there was burgeoning Indie scene in the UK, specifically London and Manchester that were churning out talent [...]

TweetShare When was the last time you used a pay phone? Seriously, think about it. Putting change into a phone attached to a pole, or in a booth on the street. Pretty antiquated, right? It’s telling that the cover image on Death Cab for Cutie’s seventh album is a key from a pay phone, suggesting [...]

TweetShare John Vanderslice has been releasing solo albums for over a decade now, so at this point he ought to be headlining festivals and have a video or two on MTVU at the very least. Unfortunately, neither of those things have happened for him. Still, he soldiers on. Thank goodness. “White Wilderness” is possibly the [...]

TweetShare I can’t say that I’m a die hard Death Cab For Cutie fan, but I am a fan. I’ve been listening to them for about six years now and was introduced to them via an online messageboard, my first taste being their (then) just released “Plans”.  If you can wear down MP3s then I wore [...]

TweetShare Of course this shit drops as I’m heading to bed, so I’m keeping this one short. The good peeps (I’ve been saying peeps a lot lately, what’s up with that?  I think it just kinda sounds nice to say, you know? Try it, say it a bunch of times. Oh, that reminds me, you [...]

TweetShare So….what the hell have DCFC done? How’d they go from the untethered ambivalence of “You Are A Tourist”, to the slow-poke, there-but-not-quite-there drab of “Home Is A Fire”, to this?  This being “Some Boys”, the latest track offered from the band’s upcoming 26th album “Codes And Keys” (out May 31st), and “this” is fucking good.  After [...]

TweetShare “Home Is A Fire,” the second track we have heard from Death Cab for Cutie’s upcoming full-length, “Codes & Keys,” will no doubt garner significant comparisons to Ben Gibbard’s little side-project, The Postal Service. These comparisons will be inaccurate.  ”Home Is A Fire” is a track built on skittering percussion and understated vocals, not [...]

TweetShare Just premiered on Zane Lowe’s BBC One Radio show, new Death Cab For Cutie music is now here. Taken from their upcoming eighth album “Codes And Keys” on May 31st, “You Are A Tourist” is our first new music from the band in far too fucking long.  There’s been quite a bit of chatter [...]
