The following text is from the concert's story page on NPR Music:

Death Cab for Cutie's music has gotten smoother, cleaner and happier as its members have done the same: With singer Ben Gibbard getting sober and marrying a movie star, it'd be disingenuous for him to wallow in sorrow, right? Fortunately, this sunnier Death Cab still knows how to craft thoughtful and charming songs about love and other manners of human interaction. Codes and Keys arrives just three days after this show, and its songs fit nicely into a continuum of songs that storm and chime on the live stage.
