New Songs of Death Cab For Cutie

Given the current state of the music industry - an industry that all but abandoned the idea of ​​feeding an artist in favor of instant gratification, and ready-made radio-friendly hooks - the big snow ball rolling, that Death Cab for Cutie Seattle is all the more impressive. Death Cab are very well versed in the intricacies of evolution supports, developed gradually from a one-man act - the solo project of singer / guitarist Ben Gibbard - into a fully functioning, democratic quartet. Along the way, suffered DCFC a constantly rotating rhythm section (drummer Jason McGerr, the man-behind-the-kit-thirds of the band), and survived the disturbing side effects projects both Gibbard (who also records how the Postal Service, Dntel frontman Jimmy Tamborello side) and guitarist / producer Chris Walla (the co-owner of the Seattle study of New Songs the courthouse, and regularly mans the boards for the other sad songs north-west thermals and long winter).
Seattle indie Barsuk - - in the month of Death Cab have a consistent upward trend since its founding in 1997, and Transatlanticism, the band's fourth proper full-length (which was released from her longtime label blocked in the last year) provides that at the moment very well get. The disc is full of sweeping guitar pop, alternately compact and roomy, fluttering wings TI Songs driven by a few bits of spacey synths and Gibbard anchors the soft, mournful coo.

In addition, edits a successful transition from recording on the cheap, crappy equipment in their  New Songs basements (Gibbard response, a representative configuration of their Barsuk reported first? "You guys, that the media is mixed mad at you") to use Gibbard, whatNow affectionately known as "top of the range stuff really desire." Transatlanticism came out of the band's most dynamic moves today to seamlessly thick of the simple, minimalist slow player, aggressive guitar sad songs attack. As McGerr stated, "There are a lot of  New Songs scarcity and space, and a lot of density, and then there's sad songs  the middle way.."
