Death Cab for Cutie, Narrow Stairs (Atlantic) Pop band Death Cab for Cutie merrily lurches further down the gloomy side of the street on its latest CD, Narrow Stairs. While the American quartet keeps a firm grasp on its penchant for sunny pop melodies and bright, upbeat riffs, there’s no escaping the somber lyrics that kick at the daylight until it bleeds darkness. DRINK THIS Viña Cono Sur 2007 Shiraz Chile $9.95 (064295) Full-bodied, bold and brooding are easy descriptions to make after a taste of this affordable Chilean Shiraz. There is a lot of ripe, concentrated dark fruit flavours on the palate that gain interest from spicy, smoky and leathery notes. |
