Premiere
Death Cab For Cutie share new acoustic version of ‘Passenger Seat’
Track is taken from the group’s ‘Transatlanticism’ album.
Death Cab for Cutie have unveiled a simple, striking acoustic version of ‘Passenger Seat’, taken from their ‘Transatlanticism’ LP.
This new version sees Ben Gibbard leading in a more minimal setting. With nothing but a piano for company, it shifts an already gorgeous track into even more heart-wrenching territory. DIY has the first play - watch below.
Catch up with our Death Cab for Cutie feature here, when Ben Gibbard gives his most upfront interview yet on the departure of Chris Walla.
New album ‘Kintsugi’ is out now. Death Cab for Cutie play three consecutive sold out nights at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire (8th-10th June), before playing the following November dates:

02 Glasgow, Academy
03 Manchester, Academy
