Death Cab For Cutie Artist Snapshot:

Formed in the Pacific Northwest during the late 1990s, Death Cab for Cutie deals in guitar rock that is informed by a striking sensitivity. Led by singer/guitarist Benjamin Gibbard, the group straddles the line between indie and emo rock, earning them an increasingly large following that hit a peak with 2003's acclaimed TRANSATLANTICISM. That same year Gibbard also contributed his distinctly wistful vocals and literate lyrics to the Postal Service, an electronics-based project with Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel.

Review

Rolling Stone (11/27/03, p.93) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...[The album] presents a polished version of the heart-string-tugging formula that has earned the quartet its cultish following: melodic, melancholy songs about feeling both smart and confused, hopelessly romantic but wary of love..."
Spin (11/03, p.112) - "...TRANSATLANTICISM is a breakup album that refuses to break down, full of striking, tactile imagery....Direct and beautiful..." - Grade: A-
Uncut (11/03, p.107) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...This is a record of rare beauty and poise..."
CMJ (12/29/03, p.6) - Ranked #6 in CMJ's "Top 10 of 2003"
CMJ (10/6/03, p.4) - "...Makes ambition safe for the indie clique....new guitar textures and rhythmic ideas are everywhere..."
Mojo (Publisher) (12/03, p.122) - 3 stars out of 5 - "TRANSATLANTICISM is a further suite of touching vignettes, choice observations and killer lines."

Death Cab for Cutie finally delivers on its promise with its fourth album, TRANSATLANTICISM. Although the band's earlier outings have excellent moments, this collection of indie power-pop plays to Death Cab's strengths, wrapping Ben Gibbard's plaintive vocals and emotive lyrics in consistently dynamic and engaging arrangements. The album opens with the majestic surge of "The New Year," and moves to the instantly catchy "Lightness." While guitars chime over solid bass-and-drums backing, Gibbard's melancholy tales unfold, drawing the listener in further with each song, largely due to the perfect production of guitarist Chris Walla. By the time the wide-screen title track runs it course and the album ends with the oddly optimistic "A Lack of Color," it becomes clear that this is one of those albums that you'll listen to over and over again.

This album includes so many magical moments, I cant even begin to describe them all. I will say that this record completely exceeded my (high) expectations! Got to have it!
