Death Cab for Cutie

In the live recording of "Soul Meets Body" at Comedy Central's Last Laugh '05, Death Cab for Cutie was actively promoting their album "Plans," which was released in August 2005. This album marked a significant moment in their career, propelling them into mainstream success, particularly with the hit singles "Soul Meets Body" and "I Will Follow You Into the Dark." The band's previous album, "Transatlanticism," had already established their reputation in the indie rock scene, but "Plans" showcased their ability to reach a broader audience. Notably, this performance at a comedy event illustrates the band's versatility and appeal beyond just the music scene, bridging genres and attracting diverse audiences. Additionally, during this period, the band's frontman, Ben Gibbard, was becoming increasingly recognized not only for his musical contributions but also for his collaborations and personal relationships in the music industry.
