Plenty of life left in Death Cab for Cutie
Add BT as a preferred source

DEATH Cab For Cutie (DCFC) isn't the kind of band that changes for the sake of it. Eighteen years in, they still peddle the same brand of introspective guitar pop which frontman Ben Gibbard has been writing since they released their first album Something About Planes in 1998.
It's for this reason the jangly Pictures in an Exhibition from that record didn't sound out of place alongside the newer material from last year's Kintsugi when the band played a career-spanning set of 21 songs culled from their eight studio albums at The Coliseum on Monday evening.
It was their third show in Singapore and first without founding member Chris Walla but you'd barely notice his absence because Gibbard, who is DCFC's primary songwriter, remains the heart and soul of the group.
