After hearing a few songs off of Death Cab for Cutie’s latest album - Narrow Stairs - I’m quite anxious to hear the rest of the album.

The first single, I Will Possess Your Heart, is a great song that builds up painfully slowly until it blossoms. The instrumentation is simply wonderful and inspiring.  

The vocal melody is what makes the song special. It really stands out from the steady jam of the band. This song is the epiphany of Death Cab’s “spacey” vibe.

The second single, Cath, is even more memorable than the first. The guitar playing is extremely tasteful in this song - it’s driving, yet relaxing; subtle, yet exciting.

This song is capable of making you feel emotional, which is not surprising coming from a band that is often labeled as “emo”.

I really can’t wait to hear more from this album and this band. I was never really a fan in the past, but this new music might be able to convince me to take another listen.

Well done Death Cab, well done.

Sincerely,

BW.
