Death Cab for Cutie

On March 31, 2015, Death Cab for Cutie performed "The Ghosts of Beverly Drive" live at KCRW in Santa Monica, coinciding with the release of their eighth studio album, *Kintsugi*. This album marked a significant transition for the band, as it was the first release after the departure of founding member and producer Chris Walla. Walla's exit opened the door for a fresh sound and new creative direction, which is evident in the album's more polished production and lyrical introspection. *Kintsugi* explores themes of change and loss, resonating with listeners during this pivotal moment in the band's career as they navigated both personal and professional shifts. The live performance reflects the band's confidence as they embraced this new chapter while maintaining the emotive and melodic qualities that defined their earlier work.
