Death Cab for Cutie - Home is a Fire

DEATH CAB for CUTIE - Home Is A Fire by ATL REC.

Well yes, the easy comparison is Ben Gibbarb's other project, but personally I'm thinking its more along the lines of Radiohead's King of the Limbs. Definitely worth checking out, but I'd still rather listen to You Are a Tourist.

Death Cab for Cutie - You are a Tourist

Regardless of what any of those way-too-cool hipsters will have you believe, the new Death Cab single does not disappoint. No, its not particularly innovative, but it is a near perfect example of classic indie rock. Seattle Radio station 1077 the end premiered the track, and you can check it out on their soundcloud.

Ben Gibbard Covers Radiohead, is proud of his new album.

Yep. Props to Ben for being courageous enough to cover Radiohead! I mean if you're going to attempt to cover a Radiohead song "All I need" is probably one of your best bets (especially for a guy with similarly moody songs) but he still gets props because it turned out being pretty great! I've been listening to it on repeat for a good 15 minutes now.

In other Death Cab news check out this interview w/ Spin for news on their new lives as family men and their new record. Ben claims he is embarrassed by the amount of "self loathing" on Narrow Stairs and that he is extremely proud of their follow up.
