In this episode, we return to our "Deep Dive" series where one of us presents the others with an album to listen to top to bottom, and we dive deep on the drummer behind the album, the drum parts, the sounds, production and songwriting. With Matt not joining us for this episode, Jamie and Harry chat about one of Jamie's favourites, "Plans" by Death Cab For Cutie. Released in 2005, and their first major label record, this album progresses the bands sound whilst still referencing their indie roots. Jason McGerr delivers more incredibly musical yet complimentary drum parts across the album.
