After performing solo as All-Time Quarterback, Ben Gibbard, recording as Death Cab for Cutie, released You Can Play These Songs With These Chords on cassette in 1997. The unexpected success of the tape prompted him to recruit other musicians, including guitarist Chris Walla, to form a full-time band. The outfit released their debut LP, Something About Airplanes, in 1998. After the release of 2002’s The Photo Album, the band started gaining more recognition, appearing on teen drama hit The O.C. and began achieving the broad mainstream success they are known for today. In addition to their records, Death Cab for Cutie has contributed songs to TV and films including The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Scrubs and Six Feet Under.
Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard is also known for the Postal Service, his on-hiatus side project with Dntel’s Jimmy Tamborello. Sadly, rumours of a second Postal Service album in 2012 have been grossly exaggerated. Chris Walla is a prolific producer as well, having been the driving force behind almost all of Death Cab’s albums, as well as releases by The Decemberists, Ra Ra Riot, The Thermals, and Tegan and Sara.
Fresh off the heels of another Grammy nomination for their seventh studio album, Codes and Keys, Ben Gibbard, Nick Harmer, Chris Walla and Jason McGerr bring with them the melodies that charmed a generation of young music lovers and lyrics that made their hearts melt to the shores of China. Whether you love the sweetness of early singles like “A Movie Script Ending” or the complex later work of “I Will Possess Your Heart” and “You Are A Tourist,” the band’s unwavering commitment to sonic exploration and lyrical ambition promises an epic night of rock from one of America’s favourite indie rock bands.

不知道你是否还在回味2011年“觉”舞台上精彩纷呈的演出，或带着期待对新一年的阵容变化已揣测许久？我们很高兴地告诉你，Death Cab For Cutie终于要来了！没错，这都是真的。这将是Death Cab For Cutie首次踏上中国土地，而能将他们邀请来华为“觉”盛会拉开序幕，也让我们感到欣慰与骄傲。
从1997年成立至今，经过近15年的耕耘，Death Cab For Cutie在评论与商业方面均取得了骄人成绩：他们收获过多次格莱美专辑及单曲奖项提名、2007年发行的《Narrow Stairs》在美国“公告牌”Top 200专辑中取得排行第一、《Lack Of Color》等经典歌曲被数部黄金剧集/电影收录进原声——比如我们再熟悉不过的[The O.C]（橘子郡男孩）、[CSI：迈阿密风云]、[暮光之城2：新月]等等……但Death Cab For Cutie从来不是大明星乐队，从签约独立厂牌Barsuk到从2005年开始转投Atlantic（大西洋唱片）至今，他们一直保持较为低调探索的姿态行进着，并且依然保持着他们旺盛的创作精力与从不停止的音乐探索，当然还有那份从最初就引人入胜的，美好而内省的，对生命的思考。
将Death Cab For Cutie称为“治愈系”摇滚恐怕并不为过，尽管他们有着一个颇与风格不符的名字——虽然这只是乐队顺手从The Beatles的电影[奇幻旅程]当中插曲的名字中获得的灵感罢了。主创兼主唱Ben Gibbard的唱腔具有天然的情绪安抚作用，被《Entertainment Weekly》形容为“邻家男孩般柔顺的声音”，颇具省思且充满美感的歌词以及或迷幻、或清爽、或扣人心弦的旋律以及时而跃动时而沉缓、不乏实验性的编曲等等，都是Death Cab For Cutie一直以来叫人百听不厌的法宝。
2011年5月，Death Cab For Cutie发行了成军15年来的第七张录音室专辑《Codes And Keys》，专辑发行后即在公告牌上跻身排行前三，其中单曲《You Are Tourist》更分获“另类”与“排行”榜单第一及第三。才情与人文思辨并进的他们减弱了对吉他的依赖，运用了更多的键盘元素，不乏惊喜却仍保持一贯的可听性。现在乐队正马不停蹄地在世界各地进行巡演，2012年3月9日、10日，上海与北京也将迎来Death Cab For Cutie的内地首次巡演。希望能在现场与你一起聆听感动。
