Death Cab for Cutie’s debut album Something About Airplanes introduced a band already defined by nuance, melody and emotional restraint. Stripped-back yet expressive, the record set out a template built on intimate songwriting, thoughtful arrangements and a quietly distinctive voice. It remains a clear statement of intent from a group whose subtlety and sincerity would go on to define their enduring appeal.
