We know it’s unfashionable in certain circles, but we continue to be fans of Ben Gibbard<\/strong> in his various guises.\u00a0 Whether as a part of Death Cab for Cutie, The Postal Service<\/strong> or with others, Gibbard<\/strong> and his surroundlings<\/em> always craft memorable melodies with lyrical lines that frequently linger longer than limitless others. Gibbard has now released his first solo album, Former Lives<\/strong>, which he’s said is a collection of songs that didn’t fit with Death Cab for Cutie<\/strong>.\u00a0 Check out his Tiny Desk Concert<\/strong> (the 250th) for NPR<\/strong> below, in which he plays a song from Death Cab’s last album, a song off Former Lives<\/strong>, and of all things a song from the Arthur soundtrack<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Set List
\n“St. Peter’s Cathedral”
\n“Teardrop Windows”
