Death Cab For Cutie
Despite multi-instrumentalist/producer Chris Walla’s pronouncements to the contrary, Death Cab For Cutie’s last record, Narrow Stairs, wasn’t all that much of a curveball. It was, to date, the band’s most rock-oriented record—much more so than its predecessor, Plans. Both those records, along with a little ditty written for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, launched Death Cab into semi-serious mass-market fame. The pressure must be on, then, for the band’s latest record, Codes And Keys. The new material seems to suggest a calmer, happier Death Cab, which may be due in part to lead singer Ben Gibbard’s marriage to actress Zooey Deschanel in 2009.
