Created originally as a solo project for lead singer Ben Gibbard, Death Cab for Cutie expanded to the quartet line up it boasts today after Gibbard's debut solo release garnered far more attention than he had originally anticipated.
Known for their somewhat melancholy and emotionally driven tracks, the band have seen their fanbase expand in recent years after attention was drawn to their music via it's appearances in popular tv shows such as The O.C., Six Feet Under and CSI: Miami and more recently, the Twilight films.
If lyrics are poetry then Gibbard is a singing Keats, and his harmonies are sounding even more romantic on the band's cover of Christmas classic 'Baby Please Come Home'. Christmas has never sounded so lovesick.
