When our space-children are learning from their teach-pods about this 21st century phenomenon known as "indie", I'm sure one of the more enduring tales will be of the rock musicians
Death Cab For Cutie. Although many incorrectly attribute their success to "sell-out" status,
Plans only landed via Atlantic Records when Gibbard had deemed the band's success at an appropriate level to maintain creative freedoms. Thus today's song, "You Are A Tourist", off the forthcoming LP
Codes and Keys, represents an evolution of Death Cab steered only by the original drive behind the band. That being said, you could probably write a better imitation of a Death Cab song (but you'll never recreate that iconic Gibbard croon). Check it out below.
