Death Cab for Cutie - “The Open Door EP” - Buy It

text: Eranda Jayawickreme

These remainders from Narrow Stairs find Death Cab live and looser, which works to their advantage. U2 would kill to be able to write a song as broad and open as “A Diamond And A Tether.” The result is a bit like listening to Coldplay, but with considerably more talent.

Sounds like: U2 | Big Star | Teenage Fanclub

Death Cab for Cutie: (Official / MySpace)

Don’t make us make you. ‘Cause we’ll do it....

Then you will probably love this record.  You will also probably be asked by a friend if they can borrow it because they want to hear what you hear in it but really aren’t so sure they want to buy it just yet.
