Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie sat down with Stereogum: We’ve been demoing some songs here and there with Dave [Depper] and Zack [Rae], who are gonna be a part of this next record, people who are members of the band now. I feel like they know our band better than we do, because they were outside of it for so long. Their aesthetic take on the material is so valuable because they were fans of the band before they were in the band, so they could say like, “I want what you think you’re doing with this song, but you’re not pulling it off.” Expand - View Original
I like the idea of some more upbeat material. Kintsugi was good, and I'm definitely excited for some more Death Cab.
