Plans

Death Cab for Cutie

Polished, piano-driven indie rock exploring the weight of mortality and the quiet end of relationships. A lush, melancholic exhale of Pacific Northwest sound.

The ultimate rainy-day record for when you need to feel every ounce of your own melancholy.

A meticulously crafted, somber meditation on the inevitability of loss and the beauty found in the exhale.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the organ swells and the drums finally kick in during the climax of Marching Bands of Manhattan

The stark, single-mic intimacy of the acoustic guitar on I Will Follow You Into the Dark

The devastating lyrical turn in What Sarah Said when the piano gives way to the realization that love is watching someone die
