I'm sorry if this is a repeat thread, but I didn't see any posts about Death Cab for Cutie what so ever in the past three pages in the music subforum.
Mkay, so, Death Cab for Cutie is my favorite band, and a couple weeks ago I was browsing through pages of bulletins on myspace to see if I had missed anything from my friends, like surveys, etc, and then I saw a bulletin from Death Cab announcing that they would have a new album out in MAY!! Their last album, Plans, is from 2005! It's been so long.
If you go to http://www.deathcabforcutie.com , the enter site page has a studio video of production of the album, with new background music. It sounds SO awesome. I can't WAIT.
Also, I was reading the death cab message boards, also on their website, and supposedly one of the really long tracks on their new album will be called 'I will possess your heart'. Do you think this is totally balogna? That just doesn't sound like a Death Cab for Cutie song title. EDIT: This has been confirmed to be a nine-minute 'can jam' on the album.
Discuss:
News you've heard about their new album
Are you excited?!
Hopefully they'll start touring again after the release!
UPDATES!
'Death Cab Throwing A Curve Ball On New Album.
Quote:
On the as-yet-untitled album, due in late May via Atlantic, likely opener "Bixby Canyon Bridge" falls into the former category, while "The Ice Is Getting Thinner" "just breaks my heart every time," Harmer says. "It's a really pretty, electric guitar song ... it's somber like [the last album's] 'Brothers on a Hotel Bed.'"
Most unusual: the nine-minute jam "I Will Possess Your Heart," of which Harmer says, "We hit our stride on that song. We looked at the habitual things we've done in the past and tried to move beyond them."
The album also features the Long Winters' John Roderick and Pedro The Lion's David Bazan "singing on a couple of choruses, like a men's choir," as well as the song "Casino Blues," which frontman Ben Gibbard has previously debuted during his solo acoustic performances.
... Chris Walla describes the album as "really weird. It's really, really good, I think, but it's totally a curve ball, and I think it's gonna be a really polarizing record. But I'm really excited about it. It's really got some teeth..."
Walla adds that it's "louder and more dissonant and ... I think abrasive..."

Oh wow! What do you guys think? In the article, it talks more about how death cab might lose a lot of fans with their new album because they kind of just stopped thinking about what everyone else would think about their new album. I really hope I like it. I would hate to be disappointed by one of the best bands ever.
Another:
I have the youtube links to a couple songs mentioned- apparently, Ben Gibbard played The Ice is Getting Thinner and Casino Blues during his solo tour. If you want to listen to them, here they are!
