Indeed, since forming in Bellingham, Washington in 1997, Death Cab For Cutie’s emergence from the underground was made possible by the captivating introspection of their music. A melodic strain of indie rock from when that tag referred to an ethos as well as a sound, it would eventually become (unfairly) a lazy umbrella term for non-heavy bands with reasonable tailoring and expensive hairdos. The zenith of DCFC’s success came with the release of understated masterpiece Transatlanticism, which, remarkably, was released the same year [2003] as Give Up, the first and to date only album from Ben’s other band, The Postal…

It blew up and before long there were more than 300,000 TikTok vids using either the original or alternative iteration of…

Originally published in Uncut Take 294 (November 2021 issue)… The Ealing Jazz Club didn’t promise much from the outside. Situated opposite Ealing Broadway tube station, wedged between a jeweller’s and a tea shop, a tight set of steps led down into a faceless cellar. “It had a capacity of about a hundred people, maybe a few more,” recalls frequent visitor Dick Taylor. “There was a cloakroom, then a narrow room with the bar at one side. It was only a small club. But you’d walk through the door and it would sound like Chicago in there. The atmosphere was incredible.”…
