Death Cab For Cutie is an iconic emo act that has become more popular over the years for their emotional songs. Their albums come together like a bestselling novel, and their fans are always eager to hear what they have in store. ..
That’s all down to the lyrics, which are powerful and descriptive, and that detail truths and desires. Ben Gibbard, who fronts this enigmatic outfit, has always let his words grow and then burst into the musical tone.
The band has released more albums in the past five years than any other band in the world. Their discography is stronger than most, and their songs have been praised by an avid fanbase and under scrutiny too. Being truthful has always been a part of their DNA, and their contributions have excelled under scrutiny.
The band has released a new album called Asphalt Meadows. It is an extension of their soft, sombre, musical output and it features many explanations and blunt observations about days of wonder. However, the music can be sad at times. This is something that we have come to expect from the band and it does not become stale at any moment. ..
The LP has 11 songs starting with ‘Here To Forever’, and Gibbard sings about God, and the pressures of life. His voice is dazzling here, and the lyrics explain so much clarity.
“Pepper” is an acoustic track that intelligently portrays love and the last kiss before oblivion. Gibbard looks for answers amidst the commotion. ..
The decade was a time of change, and Gibbard sings about it in her song ‘Fragments From The Decade.’ She talks about the recession that hit the country hard, and how people lost their jobs and homes. She also speaks about the protests that took place throughout the country, and how they led to changes in government.
Death Cab For Cutie’s usual sound and subject matter doesn’t seem to deter them from releasing their latest album, Asphalt Meadows. The album is like a new puzzle that fits together perfectly.
