#9: Death Cab for Cutie (and the Postal Service)

#9 Ben Gibbard of "Death Cab for Cutie" and "The Postal Service"

Meet Ben Gibbard, lead lyricist and vocalist for "Death Cab for Cutie" and "The Postal Service".


Not to be confused with...


...Colin Meloy of "The Decemberists", his evil android twin.

Ben Gibbard writes songs about love and loss. Mostly loss. He gets right into the core of what any indie boy has felt after rejection. His obscure but thought out lyrics are honest and you can tell he writes from experience. Really. He just writes from the heart.

Oh wait...
...there he is making sweet with wife Zooey Dreschanel.

Really?

Dude's songs should be sounding like they were written by The Carpenters. Just sayin'.

Here's what they actually sound like...

Mm. Warm fuzzies.
