Death Cab for Cutie

By 2016, Death Cab for Cutie had just released their album "Kintsugi" in March of that year, marking a significant moment in the band's evolution. This live performance of "What Sarah Said" at the Revention Music Center in Houston captures their poignant sound, infused with themes of love and loss that resonate deeply throughout the album. What's particularly interesting about this era is that it was the band's first album after the departure of founding guitarist Chris Walla, which brought a fresh yet bittersweet layer to their music. The live recording encapsulates the emotional depth found in their work, as Ben Gibbard's haunting vocals serve as a powerful reminder of why fans continue to connect with their storytelling. In that intimate Houston setting, the audience gets to experience the raw energy that defines their live shows, making it a truly memorable moment.
