The Electronic Anthology Project Of Death Cab For Cutie colored 7" Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) and Brett Nelson (Built To Spill) re-imagine two Death Cab For Cutie songs as New Wave circa 1982. "Of Death Cab For Cutie" is the latest installment of Brett Nelson's side project The Electronic Anthology Project following last year's "Of Dinosaur Jr" with J Mascis. Keeping to the idea of making a "remix record of sorts" of a band's music by re-imagining and replaying the music as 80's New Wave -100% original with only synthesizers and a drum machine and having the original lead singer re-sing the vocals, Gibbard and Nelson offer "Soul Meets Body (Plans)" and "Champagne from A Paper Cup (Something About Airplanes)." (Limited Edition color vinyl, 500 on green vinyl, 500 on green swirl)

Gibbard's newly recorded vocals sound right at home with Nelson's smeared synths.

A revved-up synth version of Death Cab for Cutie's 2005 hit single 'Soul Meets Body' has debuted online thanks to the Electronic Anthology Project. The new rendition comes from Built to Spill bassist Brett Nelson, who is spearheading the effort to update indie favorites with electronic bents.

     —Huffington Post

Gibbard and Built to Spill bassist Brett Nelson have remade the first single from Death Cab's 2005 major-label debut, Plans, as moody synth-pop that isn't unlike a higher-gloss cousin of the Postal Service.
