Our Review

With tunes such as “You Can Do Better Than Me,” “Pity and Fear,” and “The Ice is Getting Thinner,” it’s safe to say no one will accuse Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard of getting too comfortable with his band’s continued popular success. The Death Cab cult grows with each release and 2008’s Narrow Stairs should expand their base even further, since it manages to both remain true to the band’s slumbering speeds and heartfelt manifestos while also focusing their sound into a tight, active unit. Backed with electric piano and Gibbard’s earnest vocals, “Grapevine Fires” paints a creepy romantic portrait of a man, his lover and her daughter in a cemetery observing a distant brushfire. “I Will Possess Your Heart” begins with a long, lurking intro before giving way to an obsessive admirer’s verbal promise to win the affection of his obsession. “Your New Twin Sized Bed” lopes with an irresistible melody. Whether the moments are dark or walking towards the light, Gibbard and his indelible tunes evoke a sweetness not often heard in modern pop music.

Death Cab Has Done It Again (5 stars)
Now, although this album is much different than the previous albums, it still has the aspects that makes DCFC so appealing to so many multitudes. Gone is the previous format of overwhelming slow songs with the occasional uptempo track for quite the opposite. This new LP is stock full of movers and shakers, but still retains the modesty and innocence that we know and love. Track by Track Review: (1) Bixby Canyon Bridge: 8; great opener. Onl

Not their best stuff... (3 stars)
And with that being said, it probably still deserves 4 stars. Narrow Stairs is a good album in its own right, but since its Death Cab, its just average, nothing really special. If you're a fan of Death Cab because of Plans and Transatlanticism, be wary of purchasing Narrow Stairs, because you might end up very disappointed. The powerful and expansive chorus lines, catchy singles and emotionally driven acoustics are nowhere to be found on

Eclectic Genius (5 stars)
Narrow Stairs starts off with a bang, immediately rolling in with Gibbard's smooth and silky voice telling a picturesque tale of lost love. Bixby Canyon Bridge indeed ends up being one of the best tracks on the disc. The second track, I Will Possess Your Heart, is an epic, 8 minute and 35 second track consisting of 4 full minutes of instrumentals before the lyrics begin. I must say that while in general, Gibbard's lyrics are what really make

Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s

Death Cab for Cutie's rise from small-time solo project to Grammy-nominated rock band is one of indie rock's greatest success stories. Launched in the bayside college town of Bellingham, Washington, the group was originally a side project for singer/guitarist Ben Gibbard, an engineering student at Western Washington University who split his time between school and music. Taking a break from his local power pop band, Pinwheel, Gibbard began recording an album's worth of solo material during the summer...
