Death Cab for Cutie

On January 29, 2015, Death Cab for Cutie performed "Black Sun" on the "Late Show with David Letterman," a notable appearance that corresponded with the promotion of their eighth studio album, "Kintsugi," released just a week prior on March 31, 2015. This album marked a significant moment in the band's career, as it was their first release after the departure of founding member Chris Walla, who left the group in 2014. "Kintsugi" was well-received for its introspective lyrics and innovative sound, showcasing a shift in the band's dynamic. The performance on "Letterman" not only highlighted the single "Black Sun," but also served as a pivotal moment for the band as they transitioned to a new chapter while maintaining their signature style. Additionally, the live performance helped reintroduce the band to audiences, reinforcing their relevance in the indie rock scene during this period.
