"Records are stories." - Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie, Postal Service)

"Records are stories." Ben Gibbard says, and Death Cab for Cutie's new album, 'I Built You A Tower,' is proof. "We compartmentalize because we need to keep ourselves together to do our jobs, raise our families, etc. But the structures we build within ourselves to hold our grief at bay are only so strong. Eventually, the grief spills over, and we are forced to face it. And sometimes it is more than we can bear," said the band about the new album, out now via Anti Records.
