In a recent interview with MTV News, Death Cab for Cutie guitarist Chris Walla discussed the band’s forthcoming follow-up to 2008′s Narrow Stairs:
I think probably [we'll be] continuing with the ‘everybody live in a room’ theme. [...] Narrow Stairs, I thought, was a really logical extreme, like we took the ‘live’ thing as far as we could probably take it. Every record is a learning experience, so maybe pulling back a bit from that and trying something else.
It’s all demos at this point, and they are mostly kind of scratchy, unfinished demos. Ben [Gibbard]‘s been writing and sort of getting back into it. The thing is, the whole idea with this time, was that we were going to finish touring in July and the end of the year was going to be sort of writing and decompressing. But the New Moon thing happened, and it’s like, we’ve all been busy. It’s just been busy, it’s been crazy. So I think the whole timeline is sort of getting pushed into the future a little bit.
