| Death Cab For Cutie The Band: DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE The Release: 'THE NEW YEAR' The Format: LIMITED EDITION 7" & CDS The Label: fierce panda records The Catalogue Number: NING 149 / NING 149CD The Release Date: FEBRUARY 16TH 2004 UK TOUR: February sat 7th Oxford Zodiac sun 8th Bristol Fleece mon 9th Manchester University tue 10th Edinburgh Venue wed 11th Nottingham Rescue Rooms thu 12th London ULU ** DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE are from Seattle, USA. They consist of Ben Gibbard (vocals/guitar), Chris Walla (guitar), Nick Harmer (bass) and new boy Jason McGerr (drums). They are what is now uncommonly referred to as an 'underground sensation'. ** 'The New Year' is the first single to be taken from DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE's highly acclaimed fourth album, 'Transatlanticism'. A heady brew of seething guitars, resplendent melodies and Ben Gibbard's startlingly inventive lyrics, 'The New Year' is cannily being launched upon an entirely suspecting public in - ha - The New Year. ** 'Transatlanticism' was released on fierce panda in October 2003 and received praise from grown-up writers at Uncut, Mojo, The Sunday Times, Bang and Kerrang!, right through to the alternative press (Comes With A Smile, Big Cheese, Careless Talk Costs Lives, Logo). It also finally brought everyone up to date with the DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE story, being released simultaneously on US indie label Barsuk, longterm home for the band in the face of constant A&R interest which has seen the band shift over 200,000 units Stateside on a wave of absolute adoration from the US underground. **Having focussed their attentions on various other projects in 2003 - notably Ben Gibbard's highly acclaimed contribution to THE POSTAL SERVICE project and Chris Walla's production duties with Hot Hot Heat - 'Transatlanticism' not only caught the band on fine, frazzled musical form, but it saw DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE nudge into the US mainstream: fuelled by a 53 date Stateside tour, last month saw the quartet celebrate the Billboard Top 100 success of the album with three sell-out shows at CMJ in New York. "A record of rare beauty and poise" 4/5 Uncut "Truly emotive rock played with awe inspiring conviction" Time Out "Dreamy and lovelorn in places, but epic, gritty and twisted in others" 4/5 Kerrang! "Not content with releasing one of this yearıs better records, his side project the Postal Serviceıs Give Up, Death Cabıs Ben Gibbard also helms his regular bandıs best album yet" Sunday Times "In the hipster world of jaded writers, itıs easy to lose sight of what really matters: music that is meaningful, diverse and real. Hereıs a giant serving of it" 4/5 The Fly "Even better than The Photo Albumı and approaching perfection. Album of the year, at the very least" Comes With A Smile "Death Cab have a gift for compressing the depth of character and dramatic sweep one might expect from a well composed short story into the space of a three minute jangle."
