Death Cab for Cutie - "Grapevine Fires" (video / tour dates)

Thursday, Mar 26, 2009
by PopMatters Staff

Death Cab for Cutie has released a new video for “Grapevine Fires”, from their recent album Narrow Stairs. “Grapevine Fires” was initially inspired by Ben Gibbard’s up-close-and-personal encounter with 2007’s California wildfires. The song motivated the celebrated animation duo Walter Robot to create an animated short film which relays the sense of devastating tragedy and forced optimism caused by the fire’s wrath.  Death Cab for Cutie can be seen on tour this spring on the dates listed below.
