Death Cab For Cutie Frontman Benjamin Gibbard Releases Solo Album


Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard is streaming his very first solo album, "Former Lives", before its release on 12 November.


As Gibbard explains, these songs were made across an 8 year period, "Three relationships (including Zooey Deschanel), living in two different places, drinking then not drinking". He also adds "They're a side story, not a new chapter."

He reassures fans that he will not quit his work with Death Cab For Cutie for a solo career, saying "I'm doubtful I'll have another solo album for another 10 years because the health of Death Cab for Cutie has never been better.”

He has also expressed his enthusiasm to work solo saying, “It's exciting because for the first time in a long while, I'm starting from scratch as a songwriter… It's freeing and terrifying. But mostly freeing!"
