Death Cab for Cutie

On December 10, 2018, Death Cab for Cutie performed live on KCRW, showcasing their single "When We Drive." This performance came shortly after the release of their album "Thank You for Today," which was issued in August 2018—a substantial three years following their previous album, "Kintsugi." The "Thank You for Today" album marked a notable chapter in the band's evolution, highlighted by themes of reflection and personal growth, infusing their signature emotive sound with mature contemplations. An interesting fact about the period surrounding this recording is that it featured guitarist Dave Depper and keyboardist Zac Rae, who had been added to the band during "Kintsugi" sessions, marking a transition in their lineup that influenced the sound and dynamic they presented in subsequent performances. The KCRW session reinforced the band's continued relevance and ability to connect with audiences through their poignant lyrics and lush sonic landscapes.
