Our third official taste (following single/video “You Are A Tourist” and opening track “Home Is A Fire”) of Death Cab’s forthcoming LP, Codes and Keys, arrived this morning via Atlantic Records: “Some Boys,” a 3-minute, pulsing heartbeat/kickdrum-backed prime piece of ambient indie-rock. “Some boys are singing, some boys are singing the blues,” Ben Gibbard declares before calling out a few Blues Hammer types: “joylessly flinging with the girls that their bringing to their rooms, and then leave when they’re through.” (One wonders if this tune was inspired at all by the Rolling Stones’ “Some Girls.”) Above, you can stream the promising cut.
