Death Cab for Cutie

In the video "We Looked Like Giants," recorded on November 30, 2006, at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts in Houston, Death Cab for Cutie was riding high on the success of their album "Plans," which had been released in 2005. This album marked a huge moment in their career, propelling them into the mainstream with hits like "I Will Follow You into the Dark" and "Soul Meets Body." By late 2006, they were solidifying their place in indie rock culture, blending heartfelt lyrics with melodic hooks. Interestingly, this live performance captures the raw energy and emotional depth the band was known for, as they connected with an audience eager to sing along. It’s intriguing to think about how their sound would continue to evolve in subsequent albums, yet this moment shines as a testament to their rising influence during that pivotal time.
