Death Cab For Cutie

Death Cab claim heavy metal influenced 2008's Narrow Stairs, and while the chart-topping album doesn't exactly bring Deep Purple to mind, there are moments that prize beefy musicianship over emotive sensitivity. But fear not: The boys in this hood are not that hard, as evidenced by the tracks featured on this exclusive EP: acoustic-heavy songs from Narrow Stairs, "Brothers on a Hotel Bed" from Plans and "Photobooth" from 2000's Forbidden Love EP. The tracks' laid-back vibe gives Ben Gibbard's heartfelt croons and intellectual prose the limelight they deserve.
