Another album by one of today’s most appealing bands, Death Cab for Cutie. At first I was a little thrown off with a song that front-man Ben Gibbard sang almost entirely solo. Soon I was taken on an adventure through a band that really does well with dynamics.
Every album progresses and shows the bands ability to not only continually put out a quality recording, but also the band’s ability to grow musically, which keeps fans waiting for the next thing. Their latest release has (dare I say) even topped Plans and Transatlanticism, which is hard to believe.
Though Narrow Stairs is on the short side for a full length album, it is well worth picking up. I found myself hitting the play button again after the first listen… and the second.
Rating: 4/5
