Kintsugi

Death Cab for Cutie

Polished indie rock exploring the beauty in broken things. Clean guitars and synth textures provide a glossy backdrop for themes of divorce and transition.

Find on Amazon

The ultimate 'moving on' record for people who still love a good rainy-day guitar melody.

A polished, resilient exploration of personal fracture and the effort required to stay whole.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The driving, rhythmic guitar hook that anchors the chorus of The Ghosts of Beverly Drive
The transition into the sparse, piano-led vulnerability of Binary Sea to close the record
The way the bassline carries the momentum of No Room in Frame against Ben Gibbard's detached delivery
