CHRIS WALLA (formerly of Death Cab for Cutie) Tape Loops (Trans) His new solo instrumental album scheduled to be released October 16, 2015The record, inspired by physical tape manipulation, is quite a soothing, tranquil and reflective listen. It’s also one Walla says was “more satisfying” and “weirdly therapeutic” to create. Myspace
‘Goodbye’ came about the time I told the band I was leaving and everybody was sad but everybody understood. It was clear we needed to figure this out and everybody needed to carve a path forward. The thing about it is, despite anyone’s best intentions or expectations it’s just sloppy and weird and you don’t always get what you want or what you think you should get in terms of emotional satisfaction or closure.
I left the band and I don’t have any regrets about it, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not difficult or not without challenges. Myspace
