This fall will see the first proper full-length solo LP from Benjamin Gibbard (he’s going by Benjamin for this release), a 12-track collection of previously unreleased songs that span the length of his career, featuring reworked versions of a few tunes you may have heard live before. The album, Former Lives, was recorded with Aaron Espinoza (Earlimart).
Just heard about this. Can’t wait!
I’m so stoked for this! I’ve been waiting for this track to be released for about a year now. As of now, it can only be heard live in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qslZk0lRpE
It’s commonly known on the internet as “Smith Tower” and is about a tower in Seattle that used to be the tallest in the city, before the Space Needle was built in 1962. It is one of my favorite Ben Gibbard songs for sure. I heard on the radio today that Ben Gibbard’s “Teardrop Windows” (off the new solo album) will be premiering tomorrow on the air. It must be the same song with a different title, because the song begins with “Teardrop windows crying in the sky…”
Anyway, if anyone is looking for a great Ben Gibbard bio/explanation of what the new album is all about, check it out here. It’s pretty well written: http://www.showboxonline.com/eventdetail.php?id=37561
I’m going to this show in November- can’t wait!
Ben Gibbard posted “Teardrop Windows” on Soundcloud! Check it out! I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post the link, but his username is “Gibbstack”
The only thing you can’t post is links to leaks/illegal downloads
Lies. It’s nowhere to be found. Power users are full of crap.
