Death Cab for Cutie

On May 25, 2014, Death Cab for Cutie performed 'Why'd You Want to Live Here' at the Revel Ovation Hall in Atlantic City, a vibrant stop during their spring mini-tour. This performance came shortly after the release of their album 'Kintsugi,' which marked a significant chapter in the band's career, being their first record without founding member Chris Walla. The album, released in March 2015, is celebrated for its introspective lyrics and lush instrumentation, reflecting themes of heartbreak and resilience. Interestingly, 'Kintsugi' — named after the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold — embodies the notion of beauty in brokenness, much like the band's transformative journey through personal and musical evolution. Fans often reminisce about this period, as it showcased how the band maintained their signature sound while pushing creative boundaries and dealing with change.
