Death Cab for Cutie

On May 20, 2011, Death Cab for Cutie performed live at the Metro in Chicago, showcasing their heartfelt tunes during a period marked by the release of 'Codes and Keys', their seventh studio album. Released just a few weeks earlier, this album signified a shift in their sound, embracing a more synth-pop vibe while still retaining the intimate storytelling that fans adored.
