Death Cab for Cutie
"Narrow Stairs" (Atlantic Records)
* * *
For Death Cab for Cutie's singer-songwriter-guitarist Ben Gibbard, death is not the end. His life was done long ago.
On the band's sixth studio disc, "Narrow Stairs," Gibbard - Death Cab for Cutie's resident tortured artist, hopeless romantic, consummate daydreamer and borderline head case - once again drops all his defenses in the downward spiral of his miserable existence.
