DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE – THE BARSUK YEARS
Artist In Residence to release vinyl box set of Death Cab For Cutie’s early, Barsuk material.
This deluxe box set contains all of Death Cab’s early albums and EPs, some never before available on vinyl. All the records from the original 1997 cassette-only “demo” you can play these songs with chords through 2001’s the stability e.p. have been re-mastered by Roger Seibel at SAE, bringing the audio quality of those pressings up to that of the band’s ground-breaking classic 2003 opus (and final studio release via Barsuk) transatlanticism .

Each release is packaged individually in its own jacket with the album’s original artwork, and then collected snugly in an individually-numbered cloth-bound box and signed by the band.
