The fact that Elsinor and Barsuk, two relatively small labels, conspired to co-release Something About Airplanes should give some indication as to its quality. It's a solid, emotive, and frequently amazing indie rock record that could very well be considered somewhat important. Sonically, Death Cab for Cutie falls somewhere on the dreamier and more pop-oriented end of Built to Spill's sound (particularly on Keep It Like a Secret), alongside the Posies' most pensive tracks, or with Delta Haymax that is, dynamic, melodic, and somewhat atmospheric Northwestern rock. What's important, however, is that the composition, arrangement, and perfect vocal harmonies of Something About Airplanes are all hugely effective; the band uses light touches of flute, synth, or cello to add the necessary textures to its well-crafted pop songs, and the result has a consistently impressive and thoroughly engaging quality that rivals Built to Spill's Keep It Like a Secret. Which is quite a complement but tracks like "Bend to Squares" and "Pictures in an Exhibition" deserve as much adulation as one can offer.
Tracks include:
Bend to squares
President of what?
Champagne from a paper cup
Your bruise
Picture an exhibition
Sleep spent
The face that launched 1000 shits
Amputations
Fake frowns
