Their music gained mainstream recognition through shows like THE O.C., but Death Cab for Cutie isn’t afraid to take a few risks. Just listen to first single “I Will Possess Your Heart”, which opens with just over 4-minutes of instrumental, for evidence. Despite their often bright, indie rock sound, the lyrics reveal a much darker outlook on things. –AV (ATLANTIC/WARNER MUSIC CANADA)
VERDICT: Gloomy, but brave.
