Can't find a thread for them :thinking: pardon me if I missed it. Anyway, I just bought their latest album, There Is No Enemy, and quite liked it, especially it's cover style. It's sort of folky indie rock, which is exactly what I'm looking for :wacky: but had some flaws including the guitars.

 

Here's the music.

Here's the album cover:

 

And here's the singers beard:

 

 

3 reasons to listen to 'em.

I love them! Well, I just checked them out a few days ago but they're good. :heart:

 

I'm getting You In Reverse soon. :nice:

Which one's considered their best?:thinking:

I don't know, it's just the only one they had at the library. :P

Perfect From Now On seems to be mentioned a lot :thinking: Underground American indie music availability is low in nortern Norway, so I'll have to remember it next time I'm abroad :(

You can't find ANYTHING good here pretty much. :\

Thank God for Amazon :wacky:....or at least Jeffrey Bezos.

Okay so I finally got You In Reverse and I must say I'm three songs in and in love. :wacky:

This band reminds me so much of Death Cab For Cutie.

 

I looked it up and found I'm not the only one who thinks that. :P

 

"Funny," I say. "Because a lot of fans and writers have claimed that Death Cab sounds too much like a certain band: Built to Spill. How do you respond to that?"

 

Gibbard replies, "I've always been a big Built to Spill fan. I don't think that's any secret (no effort at a pun here on BTS's most recent album title here from either of us, I might add). So I don't mind when people use that as a touchstone. When it does get frustrating is when people use terms like 'This record sounds less like Built to Spill than their other stuff.' Still, I'd rather be compared to Built to Spill than Third Eye Blind."

Is it better than There Is No Enemy? :thinking:

 

I'm actually not familiar with Death Cab For Cutie's music. :shame:

I don't know, this is the only album I've heard. :shrug:

 

I like their music. :wacky:

If you're gonna start listening to them. Do NOT start with Narrow Stairs. :P

Check :thinking: I'll keep that in mind :)

 

To bump this thread, here is another picture of Doug's beard and him:

That is one awesome beard.

^I know, I want one like that.

Get one like that.

Actually, I've changed my mind this is their best song from the newest album:
