DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE – CATH (ACOUSTIC)


What can be said about Death Cab For Cutie? Are they the ultimate sellouts of the underground? Are they the voice for the aging and disillusioned OC generation? Or are they what I’ve always though they were, the kings of indie rock? However much maligned or loved they may be, every reader of this or any music blog probably had a copy of Transatlanticism on their computer at some point or another. Face it – Death Cab is here to stay and they’re going to continue as the consummate professionals they are.

We here at Cannibal Cheerleader are greatly looking forward to Narrow Stairs, the new release from DCFC. The first single “I Will Possess Your Heart”, with its four-minute instrumental intro, is definitely bound to be this year’s creepy stalker anthem, but if you’re looking for indie-heartbreak look no further than “Cath”, performed here by Gibbard on solo acoustic. Enjoy!

FOOD FOR ANIMALS MUSIC VIDEO


While the video for Food For Animals‘ latest single “Tween My Lips” from the Belly LP (featured above) is just about the most NSFW thing I’ve ever posted on this blog, it’s also pretty rad in a fat man plus nudity kind of way. Check it out here but don’t say I didn’t warn you!
