Death Cab for Cutie

On August 15, 2011, Death Cab for Cutie performed 'We Looked Like Giants' at the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona, during a pivotal moment in their career. Just a year earlier, they released the album 'Codes and Keys', which marked a stylistic shift toward a more synth-driven sound, contrasting with their earlier work. This live performance showcased their evolving musical direction and the deep emotional resonance that fans had come to love. Interestingly, 'We Looked Like Giants' is from their 2003 album 'Transatlanticism', a fan favorite celebrated for its intimate storytelling and lush instrumentation. By this time, the band was well-established, and their blend of melancholy and hope struck a chord with audiences, making every show, like this one, feel both personal and grand.
