Don’t forget this is the same guy who performed two full sets a night on the Postal Service + DCFC tours, it’s like a vocal ultramarathon.
I also heard that, when his horse’s underwear kept bunching up under her pants, he bought his mare a thong.
A third new song, this time played live. Starts at 2hr55m mark. https://www.reddit.com/r/DeathCabforCutie/s/2A44nzVxzM Takes me back to the 2000s.
Darn I was watching the entire set and right as they were going to start the title track video flipped to private lol
Damnnnn, even better than the released singles - that sounds like some pre-Plans Death Cab. Great stuff.
@Jason Tate Does the rest of the album "feel" closest to any of their past releases, in your opinion? Or does it feel relatively diverse/new?
Interesting. I thought Asphalt was enough of a distinct step up from Thank You that I don’t naturally lump those together as a pair in terms of quality and sound.
Apparently they also played a 2nd new new song called Stone Over Water. I completely missed that when I was scanning through the stream. Available here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DeathCabforCutie/s/0m7PUbKHr2 I think I like it. I may need to hear how the actual recorded version sounds and what the production emphasizes to really get a handle on it. It’s the lightest of all the new songs as far as melody or specific guitar work but the lyrics are good and it could be a nice sad/bittersweet Death Cab song if the recorded version adds the definition that I am not really hearing as much on the live version.
I am really curious whether it’s going to be kind of an in-shambles messy sound like I Don’t Know How I Survive or if they made it really clean and pretty. The chorus is really growing on me after a few listens. This is gonna be a solid album, even if these 4 tracks are the highlights.
