{"product_id":"death-cab-for-cutie-kintsugi-vinyl-1","title":"Death Cab For Cutie - KINTSUGI - Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeath Cab for Cutie's eighth full-length album, 2015's Kintsugi, finds the group sliding further into the studio smoothness that marked 2011's Codes and Keys. Produced by Rich Costey -- best-known for his work with Kimbra, Mew, Muse, Interpol, and Chvrches -- Kintsugi is also the last album Death Cab recorded with co-founding member Chris Walla, who announced he was leaving the band during the recording process. Sentiment has always been lead singer\/songwriter Ben Gibbard's calling card, but as he starts to stare down the corridor to 40, he seems comfortable with leaving that open heart unadorned -- or, better still, gussied up in a coat of studio shellac. Although there are fragile solo numbers dotted throughout the album, most of Kintsugi shimmers upon a gloss constructed out of new wave remnants and faded memories of yacht rock. Conceivably, Gibbard's intent hews toward the latter -- such clean disco-rock diversions as \"Good Help (Is So Hard to Find)\" and the galloping collegiate rock echoes of \"El Dorado\" show a yen for art -- but his open heart nudges Kintsugi toward new millennial soft rock. This is a feature, not a bug. Gibbard has a gentle touch so having cushy, sugary melodies mirrored by a production equally as supple feels like a marriage of intent and sound. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP 180g Gatefold w\/ CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JITRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Death Cab For Cutie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53609820225845,"sku":"DK23BV-LQ9F-WF","price":38.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0763\/1391\/9797\/files\/death-cab-for-cutie-kintsugi_VuBUp.jpg?v=1789822542","url":"https:\/\/www.rocknrollarecordshop.com\/products\/death-cab-for-cutie-kintsugi-vinyl-1","provider":"ROCKnROLLA Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
