Death Cab for Cutie

At the time of the live recording of "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" at The World Famous KROQ, Death Cab for Cutie was actively promoting their album *Kintsugi*, which was released in March 2015. This period marked a significant phase in their career, as *Kintsugi* was their first album released after the departure of guitarist Chris Walla, a founding member of the band. The album features a blend of themes around loss and resilience, which resonated well with fans. Interestingly, the acoustic performance highlights the band's ability to convey deep emotion through stripped-down arrangements, showcasing the strength of their songwriting. By the time of the recording, the band had already established a prominent presence in the indie rock scene, with a rich catalog that included multiple Grammy nominations and a loyal fanbase eager for their evolving sound.
