Death Cab for Cutie-Codes and Keys


Death Cab for Cutie have just recently come out with a new album following the same style and footsteps of their album before, Narrow Stairs.  Death Cab for Cutie have long been indie-rock darlings, and are still growing on their seventh album. Since their mega-success on the album, Plans, they have gained millions of fans, but also lost some due to their switching record-labels. Ben Gibbard, the lead-singer, was always an avid protestor of Major Record Labels, until the band signed with Atlantic Records. Although many early fans were upset with this signing, the band has stayed true to their sound, and continued to make wonderful albums. Codes and Keys is full of fun poppy songs, and is a perfect summer album. With Ben Gibbard's always on-point lyrics and incredibly catchy singing, I have found myself repeatedly singing many of the songs.  In their seventh album, they are still finding ways to make their music fresh and different. They have been one of alternative-rock's biggest band for a few years, and they look ready to stay.
