About this episode

The episode features a discussion on Death Cab for Cutie's album 'Transatlanticism' with guests from Jaws of Brooklyn.

Gretchen Lemon of Seattle based band Jaws of Brooklyn joins us to discuss "Transatlanticism" from Death Cab for Cutie. And, because we're talking about Death Cab, I had to invite little brother Dave Montgomery to join us since he was a big reason why I became a Death Cab for Cutie fan. Plenty of other discussion including Jaws of Brooklyn's new album "Unstoppable," traveling from Eastern Washington to Seattle, the creative peak of Ben Gibbard (The Postal Service came from this time period as well!!!), Chris Walla's influence, rethinking a score (and calling an audible on tape), and the killer rhythm section of Nick Harmer and Jason McGerr.
