Plans

'Plans' is Seattle quartet Death Cab For Cuties fifth album, but in many ways it's an album of firsts. its their first for Atlantic records, after a long and productive relationship with seattle-based indie Barsuk. Its their first recorded on 48 tracks, their first recorded on the east coast, and their first with a song originated by a member other than Ben Gibbard (Brothers on a Hotel Bed, by Chris Walla). It's their first recorded with the same drummer (jason mcgerr) as the previous one. it's their first album since oc tv character seth cohen professed his undying love for their music, and their first since tireless touring helped bring them hundreds of thousands of new fans across the u.s. and around the world.
