This worked out well.
Days after linking an article by Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard and mentioning the new album, Narrow Stairs, I stumbled across a couple tracks from the album.
"Pity and Fear" (downloadable) - the rhythm section is like nothing I've heard from Death Cab before. I like it.
"I Will Possess Your Heart" (play only) - at eight minutes, this one's a marathon, and it doesn't quite stack up to the previous 7:55 masterpiece, "Atlanticism."
Pre-release thoughts on the new album/sound?
