Former Death Cab for Cutie guitarist Chris Walla announces new solo record
Chris Walla, the former guitarist/producer for Death Cab For Cutie, has announced his first solo record since his departure from the indie stalwarts earlier this year.
Walla's shared an almost-seven-minute lead track called "Kanta's Theme" - it's a glossy melange of swirling ambience, carefully considered notes, and tranquil melodies.
