Death Cab For Cutie PLANS (180g, 2LP) Vinyl New

Death Cab For Cutie PLANS (180g, 2LP) Vinyl New Item Description The success of Death Cab For Cuties TRANSATLANTICISM, and Death Cab main man Ben Gibbards debut album with the Postal Service, combined to make PLANS one of the most heavily anticipated indie-rock records in many moons. Anyone who thought the bands move to a major label would rob DCFCs unique brand of literate, melancholy music of its legendary intensity neednt have worried--PLANS is one of the groups most accomplished and emotionally resonant efforts. Sonically, the disc has a Beatlesque anything-goes attitude and attention to arrangement details. "Summer Skin" is driven by a military-style snare pattern and elliptical bass line but sprinkled with atmospheric sound effects. The throbbing dance-rock beat of "Different Names" is offset by delicate xylophone and percolating synthesizer. The discs highlight, however, may be "Someday You Will Be Loved," which is the kind of simple, irony-free love ballad that stands as a great song with or without production tricks. All the while, Gibbards artful, introspective lyrics consistently excite the ear with quirky turns of phrase and descriptive imagery. Both a step forward and a refining of past glories, PLANS is a record filled with quietly powerful moments. Format: Vinyl Genre: Alternative Rock
