Death Cab for Cutie
Death Cab for Cutie Performance of Tiny Vessels at Edgefield Portland
On August 31, 2013, Death Cab for Cutie performed live at the picturesque McMenamins Historic Edgefield Manor in Troutdale, Oregon. This show came shortly after the release of their album 'Codes and Keys' in 2011, which signaled a significant evolution in their sound, branching into more expansive and experimental territory. In this performance, the band played 'Tiny Vessels,' a fan favorite that encapsulates their signature blend of introspective lyrics and melodic charm. Notably, frontman Ben Gibbard had previously gone through a highly publicized divorce, which enriched his songwriting and fueled the band’s emotional depth. The live recording captures a moment of both celebration and reflection, resonating with a crowd that had followed the band through thick and thin.
