Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut album from Death Cab for Cutie established a deeply melancholic, lo-fi foundation for modern indie pop. 'Something About Airplanes' utilizes modest, slowcore-inspired arrangements to support Ben Gibbard's highly melodic, bittersweet, and anxious songwriting.
