Those Grammy-winnin' kings of sensitive-and-intellectual indie-rock, Death Cab for Cutie, have themselves a a new album named Codes and Keys. It's out May 31. And, if you listen to the Death Cabbers themselves, it's not a 'guitar-centric' record at all, and, like Transatlanticism and Narrow Stairs, was assembled with an experimental, Eno-influenced approach.
To go with their new record, Death Cab have themselves new tour dates. They also have a new DVD. It's entitled Live at the Mt. Baker Theatre, and, as its title all-too-plainly attests, it features the band playing live at the Mt. Baker Theatre. Said venue is located in their old Bellingham, Washington hood; and, given they played the documented concerts in April, 2009, the shows definitely had a hometown-heroes vibe to it. Like Codes and Keys, Live at the Mt. Baker Theatre is out May 31.
