Episode Description from the Publisher

whether u planned it or not.. on episode of CD Burners the guys are joined by The Academy Is... vocalist William Beckett to dive into Death Cab for Cutie's 6th album, Plans. The guys unpack why this record still feels like a seasonal memory you can step back into, from the quiet heartbreak and restraint baked into every track to the way it shaped an entire generation of lyric-first songwriting. William also gets into his own early influences, covering these songs live, and what it means to grow up on music that makes sadness feel strangely comforting. Hosted on Acast.
