Album review: Death Cab for Cutie
By Glenn Gamboa Newsday
Death Cab for Cutie's new album, Narrow Stairs, starts out promisingly, with the dramatic Bixby Canyon Bridge, awash in Chris Walla's crashing guitars and Jason McGerr's bashing drums, and the sprawling eight-minute-plus epic single, I Will Possess Your Heart, which begins with more than four minutes of Nick Harmer's throbbing basslines and expansive guitar work.
Album review: Duffy
By Glenn Gamboa Newsday
Duffy is much more than a nicer, non-addicted Amy Winehouse or the new-millennium Dusty Springfield, though being either of those things would be enough reason for celebration.
