DeBaser's reviews present Death Cab for Cutie as a long-running American indie band whose high points include Transatlanticism and Narrow Stairs. Critics note a trajectory from lo-fi beginnings to major-label polish, occasional post-rock detours, and recent revitalization on Asphalt Meadows. Reception is broadly favorable with occasional reservations about later releases.

For:Fans of indie rock, emo and melancholic songwriting; listeners interested in emotional, melodic guitar-based music.
