'There’s no reason to put out records unless we have something to say' dcfc’s ‘exciting’ writing experiment fueled their best album in years
, while also feeling fresh — thrashier and livelier than ever before — with some of Gibbard’s sturdiest songwriting since their hit albums., Gibbard started writing some of these songs in his home studio. When the pandemic arrived, Gibbard kept busy with his “Live From Home” web performance series — but as he continued to work on the album, he realized that he was creatively stifled.
“It was really exciting,” says co-founding member and bassist Nick Harmer over the phone from Seattle. “We would all wait eagerly for Friday because we had no idea how the song was going to develop at the end of the week. Not everything by Friday was a slam dunk.
Death Cab joined the ranks of indie rock veterans who made albums under COVID lockdown, like Interpol and Silversun Pickups, with songs that capture the anxiety, fear, and yearning that 2020 brought. But in Death Cab’s case, the words feel timeless. Harmer says that, even if fans notice moments that resemble the early material, the band didn’t intentionally sit down to write a record that sounds like “classic Death Cab.” He explains, “I think the DNA of the band is pretty well established. I think that the sound of the band and the music that sort of comes out of us when we all get together in a room or when we’re sort of left to our own devices, that’s just what comes out.
