Death Cab For Cutie

Forbidden Love EP

Barsuk

Sometimes CDs are just too short. Three brand new songs just playing with you, teasing you, making you wait for what’s to come. Two songs you perhaps already know and love, but offered here as alternate recordings. Mellow, West Coast indie rock that breathes its own light and life. Gentle and intelligent, and aching like December. The vocals slide and call out to your soul, while the guitar just hangs comfortable around you. The rock hits hard on the third song, and you know everything you are hearing now is just a little taste of what is possible. This band can take you places you’ve always wanted to go.
