Temporal Cove w/ Death Cab for Cutie

With Death Cab For Cutie

Where the wall meets the floor, Temporal Cove is a body of sound exploring the ethereal and ephemeral. Smilegoth dives into shoegaze, post-rock, house and more to articulate a flow of reverberations that can be felt on every surface.

From the host: _"smilegoth invites one of her all time favorite projects, Death Cab for Cutie, for a guest mix of songs and an interview with the band." _

_"Their latest record I Built You A Tower is out now via ANTI Records." _

_"DCFC 4ever." _

"As one of the defining indie-rock bands of the 21st century, Death Cab for Cutie have spent the last 30 years defying every possible expectation."

_"Formed in 1997 in Bellingham, Washington, Death Cab for Cutie were initially the quintessential underdog college-radio act, anchored by co-founder, frontman, and lead songwriter Ben Gibbard’s achingly earnest, erudite (yet still accessible) lyricism that drew inspiration from ‘80s alternative tastemakers The Smiths, The Cure, second-wave emo progenitors Sunny Day Real Estate, lo-fi acoustic hero Elliott Smith, Northwest contemporaries Modest Mouse, and introspective rock heads Built To Spill." _

_"Still, given the overwhelming cultural significance of the 2000s indie-rock scene, Gibbard (and his legions of young fans) had no reason to expect that DCfC, despite their instant-classic, magnetic, pop-curious melodies, would transcend this particular moment in time, one marked by a groundswell of mainstream interest in the once-tiny indie-rock subculture." _

_"Nearly three decades after Gibbard recorded his bare-bones debut cassette, You Can Play These Songs With Chords, and completed the DCfC lineup comprising original guitarist and producer Chris Walla (later replaced by Dave Depper on guitar and Zac Rae on keyboards), bassist Nick Harmer, and drummer Jason McGerr, DCfC have grown from underground indie contenders to pillars of the modern alternative-rock landscape." _
