Thank You for Today

Death Cab for Cutie

Atlantic Records

Three years since its last release, Death Cab for Cutie has returned with 10 more songs to add to a nearly flawless body of work with its ninth album, Thank You for Today. Though this is the first record for the band to not include lead guitarist and founding member Chris Walla, the album still feels whole and complete. The new songs may not find the band overtly pushing its music into new territory, however the lyrics and spirit of the album seem brighter and more positive than 2015’s Kintsugi. All in all, the album is yet another solid release for the veteran emo/indie rockers. (Simon Weedn)
