Death Cab for Cutie is an amazing band and such good guys.

This is more of the same slow to midtempo melodic fare that the Pacific Northwest's Death Cab For Cutie has been dishing out for the last few years.

I went on a downloading rampage yesterday to find out why I keep stocking CDs by Death Cab for Cutie, or why the Dismemberment Plan toured Japan with Quruli, or how missed out on Archer Prewitt being a real hottie.

Before they put together a band called Death Cab for Cutie, singer/guitarist Ben Gibbard and organist/guitarist Chris Walla released an 8-song tape called You Can Play These Songs With Chords on Bellingham's Elsinor Records.
This collaboration between Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) and Jimmy Tamborello (Dntel) combines Ben's sweet-as-pie vocals and Jimmy's soaring electro-pop soundscapes, making for sublime listening.
But there's this moment on "43C," a song I've written about in these pages before that's on an earlier record -- there's a moment when Ben Barnett (who pretty much is Kind of Like Spitting, although on this record he's joined by Brian Grant on bass and Ben Gibbard [Death Cab For Cutie] on drums) is trying to sing and winds up vocalizing through saliva, almost gurgling a line.

Death cab For Cutie is the first Elsinor release I have had the pleasure of listening to and now I understand what the statement means.

Death Cab For Cutie often gets lumped into the emo section of the music world, which I am not a big fan of.
For those new to Death Cab for Cutie, the "Forbidden Love" EP and "Something About Airplanes" are both great recordings of the band and would be better to start with than this one.
Singer Ben sounds very similar to labelmate Ben Gibbard, of Death Cab for Cutie, except screaming at the top of his lungs.

Tears float in dishsoap I just heard a song off the new Death Cab for Cutie and OOh OOh is it good.
At other times, Everybody Uh Oh sounds a bit more like Death Cab for Cutie without the insanely good lyrics that DCfC have going for them.
