Claude says:The first Death Cab record without Chris Walla, produced by Rich Costey and dedicated to the memory of Frightened Rabbit's Scott Hutchison, who died months before its August 2018 release. Critics were split — some heard a fresh evolution in Ben Gibbard's melodic writing, others found it merely fine — but you grabbed it right away and kept circling back, especially to "Northern Lights" and the bittersweet sprawl of "Gold Rush."
