VIDEO: Death Cab For Cutie | “Cath”

The second single from the latest DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE album, Narrow Stairs puts us in a peculiar place.

The song, “Cath” has always been a standout song on the record, but we’ve always thought it to be more an early early release track (ya know, for the fans) before they launched into a track with more hooks on the album (say like, “No Sunlight”). But then again in a perfect world, Ben, Chris, Nick, and Jason probably could have said something like “Look - we’re Death Cab For Cutie and we kick ass and had a #1 album in the country. We can do whatever the hell we want!” Maybe they did that already, how else could you explain an 8.5 minute first single?

Check out the video, featuring Lucas Haas, the band showing off their lyp-syncing abilities, and some grass in places where it doesn’t belong.
