The criticism of Death Cab For Cutie's penultimate album was harsh. Desperately modern, not very warm and a bit too thought through, some qualifications were addressed to (2015), with which the band said goodbye to co-founder after 17 years . That singer-guitarist has taken a bit of it, we hear on this successor. Thank You For Today feels like an old darling sweater; anything but hip, but familiar
… and warm. But warm in the way of the in their more contemplative moments (think of Being Boring or So Hard, for example). Funny is that Gibbard also sings as in beautiful songs such as Summer Years, You Moved Away and especially Near / Far.- a little nasal so. The band has also moved towards the more electronic side project . Fans of the first hour may miss the spiky guitar work, but with this record Death Cab For Cutie convincingly puts itself back on the map. (RME)more
