Death Cab For Cutie are recording a new album in the studio which will be the band’s last with guitarist and producer Chris Walla

HARMER: To his credit, he spoke up very early on in the process. It wasn’t like we were a week away from finishing the record or something. It was actually kind of exciting in that moment to stop and rethink our process. I’m really grateful to him for that. Having an outside producer really galvanized all of our roles in a good way, and in a way that I’d never experienced before. It really made me stop and take stock of my own playing in a different way, which was cool.
