I really love this band to death... glad they are going to have another new album in May 2008. It's been at least 3 years since the last one... It's about time!
For those unfamilar with the band, this talented quartet has been releasing one of the most enjoyable and exciting music I've ever heard from any band anywhere the past 5-10 years. Pity that they are not getting the media attention they deserve cos they really write great tunes... well, guess it has to be a secret to a select group of fans for now I guess. :)
One reason for their unpopularity could be their group name, I mean with a band name like "Death Cab For Cutie", you could get misunderstood as some sort of Death Metal band? hahaha! Fortunately, they sound nothing like that (hit the play button on the YouTube video for a sample). Rather, they marry awesome melodies, musicianship and great lyrics! A rare combi these days :)
Here's an except from Paste Magazine:
"...This morning, as borderline obsessive followers of Death Cab for Cutie logged onto their favorite band's website, they were greeted with two tasty treats to accompany their coffee. First, the Seattle darlings have revamped their home page. New videos and pictures are now available for all to enjoy.
Still, what fans might have been more excited to see in the early hours of the morn was the splendid new intro that welcomes them into the band’s new digital abode. The video displays footage of Death Cab in the recording studio, and best of all announces a release month for the band's upcoming album.
According to this little slice of cinema, Death Cab will have its new record ready to drop in May 2008. This will be the first LP that the band has put out since 2005's Plans..."
Here's a video of their 2005 song "Soul Meets Body"... enjoy!
