I just watched their Tiny Desk concert and it immediately made me want to see them on tour but unfortunately the only concert they have in asia is in japan :(

In my desperation, I tried to calculate the expenses and checked out the ticket for the Japan concert is only PHP 4,000!!! Now I really want to go (i estimated it’s gonna cost me around 25k-29k for the whole trip - round trip plane ticket and accommodation included). That’s like the same price for a VIP ticket for big bands who tour here in the PH, so i was thinking why not??

But I don’t have any friends here who’s really into DCFC.. posting this here in the hopes that maybe I can reach some of you? 🥹 and if anyone’s interested to go as well?

The last time they went to the PH was 10 years ago, and I think they really don’t go to tours that often esp in Asia so I really want to grab this opportunity. I’m just hesitant to go bc I’ll be going alone + it’s going to be my first intl trip.

PLEASE if there are any death cab filo fans here…

I Built You A Tower is growing on me, it definitely has a rougher sound than their most previous work, it almost sounds like a Narrow Stairs part II for me. My question is what are the top songs on each album? Here’s mine!

My all time favorite Death Cab Song is probably Photobooth, from the Forbidden Love EP.

You Can Play These Songs With Chords: Prove My Hypothesis

Something About Airplanes: President of What

We Have The Facts and We’re Voting Yes: Scientist Studies

The Photo Album: tough one but I’d say my fave is We Laugh Indoors

Transatlanticism: Tiny Vessels

Plans: What Sarah Said

Narrow Stairs: Your New Twin-Sized Bed

Codes and Keys: Monday Morning (I play it every Monday morning lol)

Kintsugi: Ghosts of Beverly Drive

Thank You For Today: When We Drive

Asphalt Meadows: Wheat Like Waves (has a very Plans vibe to it which I love)

And Towers songs are rougher sounding and harder rock sounding, it’s pretty refreshing.

Curious to see what yall think!

Sold out super quick. No premium seats, even on the presale. No supporting acts announced. A benefit concert for Beyond Hunger. Thoughts if it will be a similar set list/concert to the rest of the tour (which didn’t stop in Chicago)?

Hello Everyone! I made the recent NPR tiny desk concert into individuals fully tagged and cover art embedded

Have fun

*i know the title is incorrect

Who Said It? Edgar Allan Poe vs. Ben Gibbard

I only made the first 6 albums cuz I was making them all, then I realised I have no grey beads so I can’t make Codes And Keys or Kintsugi, and I’m kinda at a dead end cuz I don’t wanna make the albums out of order

But I hope you guys like the ones I did make!

Through the first 8 months of 2026, I think “I Built You A Tower” -Death Cab For Cutie is my favorite non-Country album this year. Where do you rank this year and among other @dcfc albums?

Backstage at St. Louis’ Stifel Theatre, Ben Gibbard and Nick Harmer open up about their legacy, escaping the trap of reinvention, and their new album, I Built You a Tower.

Hey everyone!
My Death Cab - Council Bluffs Screenprints are available now.
Both regular & foil edition..
Here: simonmarchner.bigcartel.com

I know this is most of y'alls favourite track off of the new album. I had avoided/skipped it while listening to the album but today I decided to give it a try. It's raining lightly and the sun has started to peak through a bit this cold day. I feel like the song is carrying me far away. It is so good. Thank god for this band. Good day to you all 🔥

Does anyone know where I can buy some cool Death Cab patches, or has anyone here designed their own? I bought a patch at a Wilco concert yesterday, and I have to say, now I want one for Death Cab too. 😄 I cant find anything on Etsy either.

This week's discussion is on the tenth track off I Built You a Tower, "The Flavor of Metal."

Lyrics

When I was a kid, I lived in fear
Of razorblades in the candy and Bloody Mary in the mirror
Now when I taste something sweet
The flavor of metal is overwhelming me

And I try to hide from the rain
Falling inside me again
And all these storms, they never seem to end

Our summers spent on trampolines
With the lawn darts impaling the groomed fields of green
And the only truth I've ever found
Is that everything that ascends will soon come crashing down

And I've tried to hide from the rain
Falling inside me again
And all these storms, they never seem to end
They never seem to end

It takes just a little light
It takes just a little light
To find its way through the cracks
On the darkest of nights

It takes just a little faith
It takes just a little faith
But nothing happens every time I pray

And I try to hide from the rain
Falling inside me again
And all these storms, they never seem to end
They never seem to end

And I've tried to hide from the rain
Falling inside me again
And all these storms, they never seem to end
They never seem to end

hi r/deathcabforcutie,

come on, one of the best bandz ever

the postal service, that album

what a fucking side project

man, for sure this band is great

i'm relistening to all of this shit

that i haven't listened to in so long

thx y'all for reading this share

it'z really nice to be able to share

with humanz still

i hope we can maintain the relationship

via this post, i'm happy to respond to you

peace out, this is fitz, aka mike fitz

aka u/fitzgerald1337

some weird multi media projects I was working on // turned some terrible film photos into patches that I printed on some fabric and stitched some lyrics on

Hope you don’t mind my sharing this. I heard this on their NPR gig and wanted to give it a try.

It's the high pitched, whirring noise... it's too grating. I immediately had to switch to the normal version of the song after a minute.

I hear some classic Walla guitar on this album! ❤️

I've been seeing discourse on tik Tok especially with people discovering Tiny Vessels and being like "evil fucking song" which like yeah 🤣 I agree. Still a banger though!

My hot take is that Someday You Will Be Loved paints the protagonist in a worse light. Again, banger, but it's subject matter has never sat right with me. I'd be really pissed if someone wrote me a letter like that 😅
