Easily my favourite first listen of a Death Cab album since Kintsugi, and I can see it potentially becoming my favourite of theirs since Narrow Stairs. Some great songwriting on here.
Thank you, Mr. Gibbard and friends, for giving a damn about making music and putting a high level of creative energy and thought into your songs almost 30 years in.
Its early Friday morning and sunny here. It’s my 5 year olds first day of summer break after finishing pre-k and she’s still asleep. It’s quiet inside as my wife and one year old daughter are also still asleep. This new Death Cab album is everything right now. I just finished listening to it and it blew my mind. Could this be an instant classic for the band? I think it just might be. So glad I ordered this on vinyl!
Punching the Flowers is a BANGER and I'm loving this so far as much as it's emotionally fucking me up
