Being the musical Luddite that I am, I only recently began to listen to DCC’s music, thanks to a friend. To call it “girl rock” would be kind. A better term would be “early pubescent girls’ music.” The band is clearly just a vehicle for Benjamin Gibbard‘s startling voice. The lyrics are strange in that they all rhyme. The band is nothing more then a session band, rhythmically repeating riffs over and over again through each song.
Death Cab for Cutie does not rock.
