Death Cab for Cutie is a band that is popular with indie lovers and mainstream music lovers. Their lyrics are soulful and they have enough variety in their music that you can listen to them for days, weeks, whatever - without getting bored. This is a pretty refreshing changge from some of the more indie AND mainstream alternatives out there.
Some of my favorite songs are "Transatlanticism," "Tiny Vessels," "Soul Meets Body," and "The Sound of Settling." However, I truly feel that there is something for just about everyone in the music and lyrics of this extremely talented band.
They have also put out enough CDs that you can browse through each one, finding at least one song from one that you'll love. So if you don't find something you like, keep trying! The odds are really for you.
Also, the lead singer sings/sung for The Postal Service, another great band. In some ways, they are quite similar, but once you listen closely to the lyrics you can see some deep differences.
Anyway, if you love indie music, slightly techno music, great lyrics, emo songs, happy songs, whatever...give 'em a try.
