Death Cab for Cutie

On August 31, 2013, Death Cab for Cutie performed live at the McMenamins Historic Edgefield Manor in Troutdale, Oregon, showcasing tracks from their album "Codes and Keys," which had been released two years prior, in 2011. This concert stood out as it followed their 2012 compilation album "Transitions," a collection of B-sides and rarities that offered a captivating glimpse into their artistry. The live recording features the hauntingly beautiful "We Looked Like Giants," a fan favorite that captures the heart-wrenching emotion often found in their music. By this point in their career, Death Cab for Cutie had already solidified their presence in the indie rock scene, engaging audiences with introspective lyrics and a unique sound that blends melancholy with hope. Interestingly, the band had evolved significantly over the years, shifting from a more lo-fi aesthetic in their early days to a broader, polished sound, reflecting their growth as artists.
