Death Cab for Cutie: Plans
Interview, Sept, 2005 by Matt Diehl
DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE Plans (Atlantic)
This major-label debut from the innovative Washington state emo-popsters--best known in teenybopper circles as the house band on The O.C.--proves a masterful continuation of the Death Cab diaspora, spanning the group's breakthrough 2003 album Transatlanticism, as well as singer Ben Gibbard's experimental side project, the Postal Service. Shimmering electronics and chiming guitars plait musical spells around the core of Gibbard's wispy, evocative angst--yet with newfound confidence. While his metaphors of heartbreak sometimes verge on overbaked, the album's distinctive sonic integrity spotlights Death Cab's evolution into true artistry.
