Video of the Moment #2060: Death Cab for Cutie

Portland’s Death Cab for Cutie released their newest album ‘Kintsugi’. It’s their 8th and their last with founding member and lead guitarist Chris Walla, who announced his departure during the recordings sessions for the LP, though not wanting to leave his bandmates in the lurch, he stayed on to see the album through until its completion. The latest music video from the now trio is for the ‘Kintsugi’ track ‘Good Help (Is So Hard to Find)’, and it’s an animated video that I’m viewing as a nod to David Bowie, as a ‘starman’ makes good. Watch it below. For more on the band on TGTF, go here.

In peripherally-related Death Cab for Cutie news, the most successful of indie bands of recent history to be inspired by Death Cab, Two Door Cinema Club, returned to the live stage last night in Galway, under a pseudonym that seemed to suggest they were a cover band.

Video(s) of the Moment #481: Death Cab for Cutie

I really like the video for ‘Home is a Fire’, Death Cab for Cutie‘s latest. Watching life through someone else’s window is good for the imagination. One better, this video is all about how the world “speaks” to you. And I definitely like it better than the one for ‘You Are a Tourist’: I mean, LED blinking hearts are so passé, aren’t they? You can watch both below.

Video of the Day #20: Death Cab For Cutie – Grapevine Fires

I think most of the blogging world loves Death Cab For Cutie. It seems that whenever they release a new video or song everyone goes a tiny bit crazy for the Seattle indie kids, and this is no different.

This time they’re releasing their third single, “Grapevine Fires”, from the amazing “Narrow Stairs“, which we reviewed last June.

It’s an animated video, which is always fun, so watch and enjoy below.
