Death Cab for Cutie

On April 15, 2012, Death Cab for Cutie performed "Soul Meets Body" live at Riverside Theater in Milwaukee, infused with the rich sounds of the Magik*Magik Orchestra. At this time, the band was riding high on the success of their sixth studio album, "Codes and Keys," released just a year prior in 2011. This album marked a shift as it was their first to be recorded without founding member Chris Walla's extensive production involvement, showcasing a more expansive, synth-driven sound. The orchestral elements in the live performance underscore the band's versatility and willingness to experiment, something they’ve been known for since their early indie days. The engagement with orchestral arrangements hints at their artistic evolution, blending their signature emotive storytelling with lush instrumentation, creating an unforgettable experience for the audience.
