After emerging as one of the biggest indie-rock bands of the ’00s, Death Cab For Cutie went through something of a wilderness period a few years ago. They parted on good terms with Chris Walla, their guitarist and also the producer who shaped their sound, and they sounded somewhat driftless on their final record with him, Kintsugi, which featured unusually pronounced synthesizers. The response from fans and critics has been much warmer for the group’s new album, Thank You For Today, which marks a return to form that doesn’t tinker all that much with the band’s classic formula. The band is joined by U.K. retro-funk outfit Jungle and rockers Albert Hammond Jr. and Barns Courtney on this FM 102.1 Big Snow Show bill.
