Released just a year after the full-length Thank You for Today, 2019’s The Blue EP finds Death Cab for Cutie benefitting from working with a smaller canvass. The central tune of this five-track EP is “Kids in 99,” a song written in tribute to three children who died in an explosion on the Olympic Pipeline in 1999. It has clean lines but a nervy energy, and its hushed outrage provides an emotional keystone for the record, which also contains the coiled “Before the Bombs.” Death Cab doesn’t depart from the cool textures and subtle melodies that distinguish Thank You for Today, but that added grace note of despair, outrage, and quiet urgency does give The Blue EP a subtle and welcome emotional resonance. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Tracklist:
1. To The Ground (05:15) 2. Kids in ’99 (03:13) 3. Man In Blue (03:02) 4. Before The Bombs (03:41) 5. Blue Bloods (05:40)
I do have a relevant comparison to make, however, with Transatlanticism. I took an unnecessary dump on Death Cab for Cutie about three years ago, where I regarded them as faux-indie, Fuse-friendly garbage and was ready to shout my vehement distaste for them at even the slightest show of sympathy for their likeness.
