I’m a “they’ll never do wrong” sort of Death Cab fan. Even when I don’t really dig an album when it comes out, I always end up coming back to it and find a few gems (I’m looking at you Kintsugi). I loved this album from the first listen. I was so relieved when I liked the first album post-Chris Walla’s departure from the band Thank You For Today; the EP that followed that up, The Blue EP was fantastic too. In fact, I went to go see them on that tour, and thought they sounded better than any other time I’d seen them – adding a fifth member really fills out their sound. Asphalt Meadows just builds on that momentum. My favorite song on the record is probably “Foxglove Through The Clearcut” – its a weird one. Weird in a very good way.
