About

You Can Play These Songs with Chords is an early demo from the American indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie, which at the time consisted entirely of founder Ben Gibbard. This demo was originally released on cassette, and it proved so popular, Gibbard decided to recruit other members to make a full band, which would go on to record Something About Airplane, the band’s debut studio album. .
