Death Cab for Cutie

In August 2018, Death Cab for Cutie graced the stage of Jimmy Kimmel Live, performing their single "Summer Years." This live recording falls shortly after the release of their ninth studio album, "Thank You for Today," which debuted just a week earlier on August 17, 2018. This album marked a significant moment for the band as it was the first without founding member Chris Walla, who had a profound influence on their sound. The record's themes resonate with nostalgia and reflection, touching on change and growth—perfectly encapsulated in the earnestness of "Summer Years." It's interesting to note that the band has evolved their style over the years, exploring richer soundscapes and incorporating more personal lyrics, while still holding onto that signature emotional depth that fans adore.
