News: Death Cab For Cutie
Ben Gibbard Debuts New Death Cab For Cutie Material
Death Cab For Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard debuted new solo material and a song from the band’s forthcoming album, Codes And Keys at the Noise Pop festival in San Francisco on Sunday, giving fans a sample of what to expect when the record drops on May 31st.
Check out Gibbard’s performance of the songs Codes And Keys, the new album’s title track (which, admittedly, is a bit depressing), as well as another new song, When The Sun Goes Down On Your Street.
When The Sun Goes Down On Your Street is actually a one-off solo song Gibbard wrote for the remake of Arthur, starring Russell Brand in Dudley Moore’s former role (it’s actually a surprisingly funny reimagining of the film). The track won’t be on the new Death Cab album, but it’s most definitely worth a listen.
Keep up with tour dates and all your Death Cab For Cutie updates at the band’s official site.
Thanks to TwentyFourBit for the heads up, where you can hear Gibbard’s duet with Bob Mould and cover of a Buck Owens song from the same show.
