Ever listen to an album and think, “Eh, it’s nothing special…” and then put it down and not give it much thought afterwards?  That’s kind of what happened to me and Death Cab For Cutie’s latest album Narrow Stairs.  I’m a HUGE fan of their last two albums and was really psyched when I heard they were releasing a new album.  I think it kind of got lost in the shuffle for me, because I was also listening to Weezer’s new album on endless repeat, occasionally tempered with Coldplay’s new album.  But since the first few listens, I’ve come back to Narrow Stairs and it’s REALLY growing on me.  It just kind of sticks in my brain now, and I really like it from start to finish.  Two of my favourite tracks are “Talking Bird” and “You Can Do Better Than Me”, but they’re all catchy!  It might take a few listens to completely digest it, but it’s totally worth it.  If you’re looking for some new music to drop into the iPod, I definitely recommend Narrow Stairs.
