🎧 Episode 104: The Three Ds — Death Cab, Deerhunter & The Decemberists
It’s Q4, and while the rest of the world is deep in annual planning, Steve and Keith are focused on a different kind of alignment — the Three Ds: Death Cab for Cutie, Deerhunter, and The Decemberists.
In this episode, the dads unpack how these indie titans shaped the mid-2000s emotional landscape — from Plans and Halcyon Digest to The Crane Wife — and why their meticulous, introspective songwriting feels a lot like building a strategic plan for your feelings.
There’s talk of spreadsheets and heartbreak, budgets and bridges, OKRs and existential crises. It’s the perfect soundtrack for reflecting, recalibrating, and realizing maybe Death Cab had it right all along: “Everything ends.”
So grab your Moleskine, update your KPIs, and tune in — it’s The New Dad Rock: Q4 Edition.
Did you know that The New Dad Rock has swag? Coffee mugs, pillow and t-shirts in a multitude of colors and arm lengths.
