you can play these songs with chords
[ barsuk records : bark28 : cd/digital ]

In 1997, before Death Cab for Cutie was a band, Ben Gibbard and Chris Walla made an 8-song cassette. Originally released by Bellingham's Elsinor Records, you can play these songs with chords is a remarkable document of what was to become DCFC. The Barsuk release compiles the original 8 songs (5 of which were later re-recorded for something about airplanes), plus 10 tracks of unreleased early recordings, covers, and outtakes from 1997-2000 (taken from recording sessions for chords, something about airplanes, and we have the facts and we're voting yes).
