I-am-Rock

We all knew Ben Gibbard was a punk rocker and that Chris Walla was singing again. We even gave you a Death Cab For Cutie studio update a ways back … but we didn’t realize how close the boys were to their next album until we saw this behind the scenes video splashing over at the official DCFC website (thanks, Tyler!). Does it ever strike you that Gibbard has quite the array of similar, but slightly different button-down shirts? Well, dudes definitely have the eyes of the tiger going — “I just don’t feel like we have anything to prove,” etc. — but have you ever seen more idyllic footage of a band recording? Where are the drunken brawls, Metallica therapy sessions, the celebratory snorting of cocaine off of groupies, and “I’m in the Postal Service, bitch” diva moments? Well, the footage is bland, but the moody background music sounds promising. Great bass line, gents. The as yet untitled album is out this May via Atlantic.
