The La’s With Ben Gibbard

Everyone knows the hit track “There She Goes,” a song that sounds like it has always existed and emerged into the world fully formed by the hand of God. Liverpudlian band The La’s made that perfect song and, according to the many musicians it influenced, including Oasis’s Liam Gallagher and our guest, Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service, a nearly perfect album, and then they basically never put anything out again. Join Yasi and Ben as they talk about one of the most interesting, mysterious, and secretly influential bands from the U.K.
