Death Cab for Cutie

On May 3, 2012, Death Cab for Cutie delivered an unforgettable live performance of "Bend to Squares" featuring the Magik*Magik Orchestra at McFarlin Auditorium in University Park, Texas. At this point in their journey, the band had recently released their highly acclaimed album "Codes and Keys" in 2011, which marked a shift in their sound, emphasizing a more polished and synthesizer-driven approach compared to their earlier work. Interestingly, this collaboration with the Magik*Magik Orchestra adds layers of orchestral richness to their already emotive melodies, showcasing their willingness to experiment and evolve. The performance, filled with heartfelt energy, truly encapsulates the band's ability to connect with audiences, blending the intimacy of live music with orchestral grandeur, creating a unique sonic experience.
