After relentless touring, performances on Saturday Night Live, and appearing on the cover of Spin and Paste Magazines, Death Cab for Cutie brings us Narrow Stairs. Following up their DVD collection, Directions, which sold over 30,000 copies and their platinum selling album, Plans, was no easy task but Narrow Stairs has already been praised by MTV.com as the band s most daring and adventurous effort to date. After hearing Narrow Stairs earlier this week, it turns out that everything I had known about Death Cab was wrong. They are actually a really great band, and Stairs is unquestionably the best thing they ve ever done. The first single from Narrow Stairs, I Will Possess Your Heart, received major market adds and airplay within one day of being serviced to Modern Rock and AAA radio. Death Cab for Cutie will hit the road this spring on a headlining US Tour |
