Product Description
What an amazing year for Death Cab for Cutie! After 2004s Transatlanticism burst the doors wide open for this Seattle-based indie fave, and they are now working on their first new full-length for their new deal with Atlantic (due fall 2005). In the meantime, the band and their original indie label Barsuk want to offer up a little something special for the fans that have been there since the early days. Recorded by the bearded and mysterious DCfC touring sound guy John Byrd and guitarist/producer Chris Walla during the spring 2004 Transatlanticism tour, THE JOHN BYRD E.P. is 7 tracks and over 35 minutes of live specialness. Hear the band talk and entertain with amusing banter! Hear live versions of tracks culled from throughout their career! Hear a never-before released cover of Sebadoh's 'Brand New Love'! THIS CD IS ONLY AVAILABLE AT SELCT INDIE STORES NATIONWIDE! Track list: 1 We Laugh Indoors 2 Why You'd Want To Live Here 3 Lightness 4 Photobooth 5 We Looked Like Giants 6 405 7 Blacking Out the Friction/Brand New Love

 where is chords? March 7, 2005

My first thought as I listened to We Laugh Indoors, I remembered watching Death Cab for the first time at the Wiltern in Los Angeles almost a year ago. I was totally tripping out when I read the credits and found out that We Laugh Indoors and Blacking out the Friction/Brand New Love was recorded at the Wiltern when I was there. I was totally stoked.
The recording is crisp. But the liveness of it was lacking, sadly. Especially coming from a band such as Death Cab for Cutie. Also, I wish the vocals had a bit more reverb into it, because since it was live, it should have some reverb in the recording to relive that liveness out of it.
I wish there were more ramblings. Because their jokes kick ass, again, the liveness. And one more thing to finally hit me was, where's the stuff from We Have the Facts, or Airplanes, or even going farther back, Chords? I was so bummed that they didn't put any old stuff on the ep, well except for 405, but that basically was the version from the Forbidden Love EP. Oh and one more thing, TRANSATLANTICISM wasn't on it. BUMMER.
Although with its lacking of liveness and song selection, The John Byrd EP totally makes up for it because it is DEATH CAB of course. I loved how the songs fit into each other. I also loved the jam in Giants and Blacking out/Brand New Love. The bit with Barry was hilarious. All in all, great ep. Oh and one more tid bit. I found it awesome to release it to indie stores. Good idea, totally. Giving back to the places that supported you, and the fans too. Hope Death Cab's next record will be as awesome as all the other ones.

Has a great sound... June 18, 2008
Great EP with really incredible sound... It was great to hear some live action as well. Death Cab picked some great songs to showcase in The John Byrd EP.
A Nice Taste of the Real Thing August 12, 2008
I've seen DCFC live and will say they are easily one of the best bands I've seen, if not the number one. While this EP doesn't really compare, it's a nice teaser for the real thing.
DCFC Fans will love!!! September 10, 2008
This CD is Fab for those who LOVE DCFC like me! I had in non-stop play for days in my car! Candid, cool and a must have for your collection!
