Death run is his duty: Ben Gibbard, frontman for Death Cab for Cutie and the Postal Service, finished the Western States 100 ultramarathon Sunday morning — the fifth time he’s competed in a 100-mile race. “I can’t believe I made it,” he told Runner’s World.

The 48-year-old Gibbard nearly didn’t make it past the halfway point, when he began to feel the effects of the 90-degree heat. “I think I was having heat stroke or something,” he said. “By the time I got to the top of the canyon at Devil’s Thumb,...

The last time Tom Howe spoke with Deadline about his musical compositions for the Apple TV+ comedy series Shrinking, the composer expressed the hope he would be able to further unpack the opening theme song, “Frightening Fishes” in a Season 2.

Season 2 arrived on the streamer in October 2024, and Howe got his chance to do that unpacking at Deadline’s Sound & Screen Television.

“The nice thing was about going into Season 2, you can do a lot of variations on the theme and also introduce new themes with different characters and things like that,” Howe said on the show’s panel. “And there also was an opportunity for some longer cues. So that also gives more chance of that kind of, you know, up picking of things and trying different variations and things in different modes here, and things like that.”

When thinking of conwoman Belle Gibson — who’s pretend cancer diagnosis was the basis of her business empire — there are plenty of anger-filled anthems that come to mind, and “Apple Cider Vinegar” scratches that itch.

From Britney Spears‘ “Toxic” and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire,” the tunes in Netflix’s new series take viewers through the distressing journey that brought Gibson to dominate the wellness industry — before depicting her fall from grace.

Whether its anthems of revenge, or carefree songs perfect for the beach, “Apple Cider Vinegar” likely has what you’re looking for.

The indie trio of Ben Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello, and Jenny Lewis reunited last year for the joint tour with Death Cab (Gibbard’s other band), with both groups celebrating the 20th anniversaries of classic 2003 albums, The Postal Services Give Up and Death Cab’s Transatlanticism.

It’s officially baseball season! Ben Gibbard returned to his hometown of Seattle to perform the National Anthem during Thursday’s Mariners home opener at T-Mobile Park. Fans were quick to notice how his version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” emulated the style of Death Cab For Cutie.

“ben gibbard is singing the national anthem at the mariners game and it just sounds like a death cab song,” read one tweet.

Last week, Gibbard spoke to Spin about his hopes for the Mariners in the 2024 season, predicting an 85-86 record for his team.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Car Seat Headrest, but the indie rock project of Will Toledo is back with a cover of Death Cab for Cutie’s “We Looked Like Giants.”

“We Looked Like Giants” originally appeared on Death Cab’s 2003 album Transatlanticism, and the cover arrives in celebration of that record’s 20th anniversary. The split single also contains a cover of The Beths and Pickle Darling teaming up to tribute another 20th anniversary of a Ben Gibbard classic: “Brand New Colony,” from The Postal Service’s sole studio album Give Up.

Toledo’s rendition of “We Looked Like Giants” stays pretty faithful to its original, albeit with a more post-punk inspired slant. Meanwhile, The Beths and Pickle Darling give “Brand New Colony” a rootsy twang with a healthy dose of banjo plucking. Pre-orders are ongoing for the 7″ vinyl, and you can stream both covers below.

The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie are in the midst of their co-headlining tour (get tickets here) honoring the bands’ respective 2003 albums, Give Up and Transatlanticism, and tonight (October 3rd), they’re set to play a sold-out show in Phoenix, Arizona.

The livestream will begin tonight at 8:00 p.m. Pt / 11:00 p.m. Et, and will be hosted by Veeps, a livestreaming company co-founded by Good Charlotte’s Joel and Benji Madden.

Zooey Deschanel has been in the public eye for nearly three decades, and she's accomplished quite a bit in her lifetime. She made her film debut in the 1999 film "Mumford," but arguably became well-known after starring in the beloved 2003 Christmas flick "Elf." Following her success from "Elf," Deschanel appeared in a number of popular movies throughout the remainder of the 2000s, including "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," "Yes Man," and the indie rom-com "500 Days of Summer" alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Film is not the only place Deschanel is popular, however. She is also well-known for her role as Jessica Day in the sitcom "New Girl" and for being one half of the music duo She & Him. Currently, she hosts a cooking show on Max called "What Am I Eating?" and stars as Kelly in the third season of AppleTV+'s "Physical."

Ahead of their co-headlining tour with The Postal Service, Death Cab For Cutie have unveiled a new song called “An Arrow in the Wall.” What’s more, the 12-inch physical release also includes a remix of the song from Chvrches.

“‘An Arrow In the Wall’ is about the warning signs all around us in the 21st century that society-at-large is in decay,” Dcfc frontman Ben Gibbard said in a statement. “The arrow lodged in the wall might have missed this time, but it would be naive to assume the next one won’t also.”

Regarding the song’s companion remix, Gibbard said Chvrches “took our maudlin little dance track and turned it into a major key club banger.”

Listen to both “An Arrow in the Wall” and Chvrches’ remix of the song below. Pre-orders for the 12-inch vinyl are ongoing.

Dcfc’s co-headlining tour with The Postal Services officially launches on September 5th.

In a sort of meta-anniversary situation, The Postal Service have announced a new live album Everything Will Change, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the tour that commemorated the 10th anniversary of the band’s one and only studio album Give Up. The double LP is set for release on September 8th, 2023 via Sub Pop.

Recorded while Ben Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello, and Jenny Lewis were touring in 2013, Everything Will Change includes Postal Service classics like “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight,” “We Will Become Silhouettes,” “Brand New Colony,” and, of course, “Such Great Heights.” It also features a performance of “(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan,” which was originally released in 2001 under Tamborello’s other moniker Dntel, as well as a cover of Beat Happening’s 1985 tune “Our Secret” to honor their Washington indie rock forebears.

Knowing producer Bill Lawrence has plenty of benefits, including access to his address book full of connections. That’s according to composer Tom Howe, who worked with Marcus Mumford and Ben Gibbard on the themes songs for two of Lawrence’s shows, Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso and Shrinking, respectively.

“When we started in Season 1 [of Ted Lasso], Marcus and I were sort of put together by a great friend of Jason’s [Sudeikis] and I knew Bill [Lawrence]. We met for breakfast and we got on and he invited me to his house to hang out. So I flew from [Los Angeles] to Devon, which is in the middle of nowhere in England, and stayed there for 10 days with Marcus. Considering I had only met him once for breakfast, it was quite interesting,” Howe told Deadline during a panel for the shows at Sound & Screen: Television.

“We hung out for 10 days having no footage or scripts or anything.

Scary fish lurking in the depths of the ocean served as the unlikely inspiration for the title theme of Apple TV+’s newest show, “Shrinking.”

Starring Jason Segel, Harrison Ford and Jessica Williams, the series follows a group of therapists as they navigate their own problems along with those of their patients. Aptly titled “Frightening Fishes,” the theme song — co-written by show composer Tom Howe and Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard — stems from the idea of “letting the wreckage of your life sink to the depths of the ocean and the seas – those unexplored places,” Gibbard tells Variety.

The song’s lyrics — “Help me carry this weight, that’s dragging me down/ Pull me out of the drink before I start to drown/ Let the wreckage all sink to where the fishes are frightening” — serve as a metaphor for the show’s struggling characters. Ford plays Paul, a...

Sometimes the aftermath of ending a relationship isn’t the hardest part. On her latest single “Every Beginning Ends,” Noah Cyrus makes a case for the moment of realization that you’ve already fallen out of love before it’s even over. The country ballad recruits Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard for the quiet conclusion of a breakup settled in the truth that all good things must come to an end.

“You have to wake up every morning/And choose to love someone,” the pair sing tenderly on the chorus.

Noah Cyrus is going to break our achy, breaky hearts. The hardest part of Noah's upcoming album might be a new song that she said took inspiration from her parents Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus' divorce. The track, titled "Every Beginning Ends," is a heartbreaking country ballad of two lovers whose romance has worn out. Noah duets with Death Cab for Cutie's Benjamin Gibbard as the two of them take turns singing verses about bittersweet memories. Noah says in the song, out Aug. 26, "You used to kiss me without a reason," to which Benjamin replies, "No one's made me laugh like you do." The pair confess together, "You have to wake up every morning and choose...

Death Cab for Cutie traverse new sonic territory with the quasi-experimental new single “Foxglove Through the Clearcut,” which comes off the band’s upcoming studio album Asphalt Meadows, out September 16.

Combining spoken word elements with the band’s signature observational lyricism and introspective instrumentation, the song examines the thoughts brought about by aimless wanderings, random encounters and solitude. Initially morose and defeatist in its opening stanzas — frontman Ben Gibbard pleadingly repeats the phrase “nowhere left to go” during an early refrain — the song builds to a swirling crescendo of dreamy...

Death Cab for Cutie has released a new single, “Here to Forever,” along with a music video written and directed by filmmaker Lance Bangs.

“‘Roman Candles’ is about the crippling, existential dread that goes hand in hand with living in a nervous city on a dying planet,” the band explained in a statement. “And that the only way to be in the moment is to let it all go.
