Them codes, Them keys (only for cuties)

The Washington rockers with the coolest name ever thought of - Death Cab For Cutie, wow - came out with an album titled Codes and Keys already last year which escaped my acute sense of perception. After listening to it a few times while cutting mouse brains for mere scientific purposes (and fetiche) I can say that the quasi-Christian rocker boys actually grew on me. Tracks to pay attention to are the eire Monday Morning, the Band of Horsesque Codes and Keys and the tempo-tempo Home is a Fire. Good stuff actually, the rest is mostly acceptable. Good to finally have a band that sounds good with vocals that you can actually understand - every syllable in fact - coming out of the throat of Ben Gibbard.
