Kill Your Stereo

Indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie have revealed the title of their impending seventh album. Codes and Keys is set to be released in the first quarter of 2011. In a recent interview; vocalist Ben Gibbard likened the sound of the album to Brian Eno's Another Green World, though bassist Nick Harmer said the band hasn't gotten rid of guitars altogether. "There are just less of them than before and we're using them in different ways this time. Ben was really inspired by writing on acoustic guitar and on a piano, so often those parts become voices or keyboard lines, rather than guitar parts. We really experimented with piecing the songs together in different ways and using the studio differently, so this a much less guitar-centric album than we've ever made before."
