Death Cab for Cutie began as a solo project of Ben Gibbard while he was the guitar player for the band Pinwheel. As Death Cab for Cutie, Gibbard released a cassette, titled You Can Play These Songs with Chords; the release was surprisingly successful, and Gibbard decided to expand the band into a complete project. He recruited Christopher Walla, who also recorded "Songs with Chords", as an electric guitarist, Nicholas Harmer on bass, and Nathan Good to play drums, a configuration that released the LP Something About Airplanes in the summer of 1998. The album got favorable reviews from the independent music scene, and in 2000, the follow-up was released: We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes. Nathan Good left the band at some point during the recording of We Have the Facts. His playing on "The Employment Pages" and "Company Calls Epilogue" were kept, but Gibbard played drums on all other songs. New drummer Michael Schorr would first appear on The Forbidden Love E.P., released in fall of 2000. The following year, another LP was released, entitled The Photo Album. Limited editions of this album contained three bonus tracks, which were later released separately as The Stability E.P.

Atlantic Records

In November, 2004 Death Cab for Cutie signed a "long-term worldwide deal" with Atlantic Records, leaving their long-time label Barsuk Records. Gibbard stated on the official website that nothing would change except that "Next to the picture of Barsuk holding a 7", there will be the letter "A" on both the spine and back of our upcoming albums." This was a marked change from Gibbard's earlier views on major-label relations, which he said "are set up to fuck you and take all your money."[1].

Side projects

Ben Gibbard

Ben Gibbard formed the side project The Postal Service, with Dntel's Jimmy Tamborello after Gibbard provided lead vocals on Dntel's "(This is) the Dream of Evan and Chan". They released the album Give Up in 2003, with the help of Chris Walla and guest vocals from Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley and Jen Wood. The Postal Service enjoyed immense "underground" popularity and Death Cab for Cutie's mainstream rise is often credited, to some extent, to Gibbard's involvement with Tamborello[citation needed]. Gibbard and Tamborello have confirmed that they are working on a new Postal Service album, albeit slowly, having recorded two songs as of June 2006. They have said they will begin more serious work once Death Cab returns from their summer 2006 tour. Recently, the band has also announced that Gibbard will go on a short solo tour starting in May of 2007. [6] [7]. Outside of Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Gibbard has released solo work under the name All-Time Quarterback. Ben Gibbard has also been involved in Ben Barnett's musical endeavor, "Kind of Like Spitting".

Chris Walla

Album

Chris Walla has released solo work under the moniker Martin Youth Auxiliary. He released a self-titled cassette on the Bellingham, Washington-based Elsinor Records in 1999; fewer than 100 copies were pressed, and as a result it is extremely rare. Following this release, he also played a number of live shows as a solo act[citation needed]. Chris also founded his own studio in Seattle, named the Hall of Justice. In 2005 Walla launched his own website, the Hall of Justice Recording, on which he has since made a number of blog posts; however, the main draw of the site is in a few dozen mp3 files of Walla's solo songs; the songs were recorded at various times and in various studios but have a distinctively finished sound, likely due to Walla's production skill. Walla announced on his site that he will be releasing a new solo album in 2007. Barsuk Records has agreed to release the album, which was initially set for March 2007 but since has been delayed until September 2007[8].

Trivia
