Hump Day Harmonics - Narrow Stairs


Todays edition of Hump Day Harmonics is the sixth and brand new album out yesterday from Death cab for Cutie called Narrow Stairs. As most know, I am a big fan of the Indie music scene and Death Cab for Cutie has been a longtime staple of my iPod pleasure. If you don't know who they are, you've more than likely heard them on "The Wedding Crashers", "The O.C.", "Six Feet Under" and I'm sure more. Ben Gibbard has one of those petite soothing voices that is almost a whisper and perfect mellow music, and the latest song (which they played the other night on Letterman) "I Will Possess Your Heart" is no different. The next bonus of this song... it's not the typical 3:30 - 4:00 minute industry standard song, oh no sir, you get your moneys worth with over 8 minutes of some very catchy lyrics. I guarantee you'll be singing it the rest of the day! Give the instrumental start a chance it takes a while, but well worth it. A couple of my other favorites so far are "Your New Twin Sized Bed" and the wow of "Bixby Canyon Bridge". If you feel like checking out some older stuff, a few other faves are "The Sound of Settling" and "Soul Meets Body" off some older albums.

Ok, Now Go Stars!
