The fourth studio album from Seattle's Death Cab For Cutie blends intelligent songwriting, amazing production, boundless creativity and thoughtful rock. Simple piano lines are picked up gracefully by understated, building guitar in the sublime title track, contrasting with the more direct, but no less affecting style of another of the LP's highlights, "The New Year". It's a light / dark balance that is carried throughout the LP, and it's a marriage of subtlety and passion that works beautifully. We love it...
