Plain bagel done well. Pleasantly substantive.
Summary
Death Cab For Cutie are releasing their new album "I Built You A Tower" this week on indie label Anti — their first indie release since 2003's Transatlanticism. Following the noisy, hard-edged singles "Riptides" and "Punching The Flowers," the band has shared a third track "Stone Over Water," which takes a softer, more pop-oriented direction reminiscent of their earlier work on The Photo Album. The article also notes the band performed "Riptides" on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledWhereas the prior singles were noisy, hard-edged rock tracks that represent the more aggressive side of the Death Cab sound, the new 'Stone Over Water' is more of a pop song, sensitive and pretty.
It's their first album for new label home Anti, which means it's their first album on an indie label since Transatlanticism in 2003.
I can easily imagine it appearing on The Photo Album.
