	Narrow Stairs New - LP - BARK 75 Sealed 2021 Latest Repress, Housed In Die Cut Jacket. "After Spending The Better Part Of A Decade In The Musical Minor Leagues, Death Cab For Cutie Went Pro With 2005's Plans, A Record Whose Optimism And Bright, Technicolor Sound Gave The Band Enough Leverage To Enter The Mainstream. "Soul Meets Body" Became Their Biggest Rock Single To Date, But It Was Ben Gibbard's Delicate Love Song, "I Will Follow You Into The Dark," That Earned The Quartet A Grammy Nomination And Legions Of New Fans. Some Bands Might Have Taken A Cue From That Success And Resigned Themselves To A Career Of Acoustic Ballads, Not Unlike The Goo Goo Dolls' Transformation In The Mid-'90s. But Narrow Stairs Roughs Up Plans' Bright Palette With Something Starker, More Harrowing, And Altogether Darkened By Gibbard's Blues. No Longer Crooning About Love Or His Desire To Embrace All Of Manhattan, The Frontman Lives Inside His Own Troubled Head On These 11 Tracks -- Or At Least The Heads Of The Characters He Conjures Up With Ease, Like Some Music-minded Novelist With A Knack For Pop Melodies And Witty Observations. There's "Cath," An Ill-married Girl Who "Holds A Smile Like Someone Would Hold A Crying Child," As Well As The Creepy Stalker In "I Will Possess Your Heart," Who Simply Demands That His Intended Lover Give Him The Time Of Day. Elsewhere, Gibbard Sings About A Friend's Recent Heartbreak By Referencing Her Bedroom Furniture ("Your New Twin Sized Bed"), Offering Up His Concern -- If Not Quite His Help -- While The Band Conjures Up A Lazy Summer's Day Beneath Him, Layering Gauzy Keyboards With Chiming Guitar Riffs. This Sort Of Contrast Between Music And Text Plays An Occasional Role On Narrow Stairs, With Songs Like "No Sunlight" And "Long Division" Pairing Somber Lyrics With Upbeat, Happy Orchestration. But The Album Largely Paints Itself As The Darker, Mysterious Cousin To Plans -- Raw Rather Than Polished, Heartbroken Rather Than Optimistic, Enigmatic Rather Than Energetic. Gibbard Strings His Words Together With An Army Of Free-flowing "Ands" And "Buts", And The Resulting Lyrics -- Long, Uncoiling Sentences With No Clear End -- Mirror His Characters' Desperatation. Narrow Stairs Is Far From Desperate, However, And The Album's Willingness To Steer Death Cab Into Unfamiliar Territory (Or, To Reference An Earlier Lyric, "Into The Dark"), Is By Far Its Biggest Strength."

	Plans Used - LP - bark47 2007 2LP gatefold repress. NM vinyl, jacket has top seam splits. "For your consideration: a wildly successful indie rock band with a legion of followers on an equally successful, highly credible independent label makes the jump to major-label powerhouse Atlantic, leading to much chagrin and speculation among its fans as they awaited with bated breath for what would happen to the group. The result was For Your Own Special Sweetheart, inarguably the most polished and fully realized album of Dischord alumnus Jawbox's career. Fast forward ten years and you find Barsuk's Death Cab for Cutie in the same position, making the same move. A new label, a larger crowd (thanks to their repeated appearances on The OC), and a side project of Ben Gibbard (Postal Service) that very well overshadowed the success of his main project. All of the moves were perfectly aligned to take the little band that could into the rock stratosphere. But the difference between Jawbox and Death Cab for Cutie was that For Your Own Special Sweetheart went on to be the finest release of Jawbox's canon. Plans definitely comes close to that mark, but falls slightly short. In comparison to the dry, raw production of Transatlanticism, Plans is warm and polished, the kind of album expected from a band obsessed with the sound of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Chris Walla does an amazing job bringing the group's sound in a different direction than before without compromising too many of the things that made the group sound great to begin with. Thematically, Plans is the Death Cab for Cutie suitable for graduate students, world-weary and wiser from their experiences, realizing they can no longer be love-starved 20-somethings without a clue yet hopelessly cursed to face the same issues. And there's merit to be had in acknowledging that maturity, for even blink-182 figured out their age and released their "serious" album. Gibbard's wispy, poetic lyrics (which could easily have been stolen from Aimee Mann's dressing room while she wasn't looking) still remain an artery from which the rest of the band beats and are some of his finest ever, but this time around the band aligns itself more with a series of emotional murmurs rather than a heart attack. The album winds its way from one ballad to the next, with brief stopovers at moderately up-tempo numbers to help break things up a bit. And it's this sense of resignation that either makes or breaks the album, depending on which Death Cab for Cutie is your favorite: the melancholic, hopeless romantic or the one who wears its heart on its sleeve with unbridled energy and passion. If Transatlanticism was Gibbard's Pet Sounds and Postal Service was SMiLE, then this is definitely Wild Honey, loved by adoring new fans and those who enjoy the ballads. But those hoping for a bit more -- for the bar to be raised higher -- might find this a mildly predictable exercise in Gibbard exorcising the demons of Phil Collins that haunt him. Plans is both a destination and a transitional journey for the group, one that sees the fulfillment of years of toiling away to develop their ideas and sound. But it's with the completion of those ideas that band is faced with a new set of crossroads and challenges to tread upon: to stay the course and suffer stagnation or try something bold and daringly new with their future. Which road they'll take will make all the difference." AMG - Rob Theakston. more
