Times are different: loud guitars break out over the new DCFC album’s opener, “I Don’t Know How I Survive”, “Foxglove Through The Clearcut” ends in post-rock noise, and under “I’ll Never Give Up On You” are powerful drums. Something has changed in Death Cab For Cutie.
Instead of the glossy guitars and the wide reverberation rooms, “Asphalt Meadows” has a very direct, unvarnished sound, which producer John Congleton organizes in a way that is typical for him, for example in the distorted “Roman Candles”, a song about the existential fear of a dying man planets. Death Cab not so Cutie. Everything else remains: the bittersweet pathos, the concise songwriting. Good change, good album.
