Death Cab For Cutie Kintsugi 180g 2LP & CD (Vinyl)

2016 Grammy Nominee!
180g Double Vinyl! Plated by Gary Salstrom & Pressed at QRP! Includes Bonus CD!

Kintsugi, which follows the 2011 Grammy Award-nominated "Codes and Keys" album, marks Death Cab for Cutie's first album since the departure of founding guitarist/keyboardist/producer Chris Walla. Recorded in Los Angeles with Rich Costey (Franz Ferdinand, Muse, Interpol) behind the board, the album takes its title from the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum, highlighting cracks rather than hiding them. As such, kintsugi represents a compassionate aesthetic philosophy in which damage and wear are embraced as part of an object's history.

"Considering what we were going through internally, and with what a lot of the lyrics are about, it had a great deal of resonance for us - the idea of figuring out how to repair breaks and make them a thing of beauty," says bassist Nick Harmer, who suggested the name to singer/guitarist Ben Gibbard and drummer Jason McGerr. "Philosophically, spiritually, emotionally, it seems perfect for this group of songs."
