"Nah, we're not going anywhere," says Ben Gibbard over the phone in his most reassuring voice, responding to concern from his loyal flock that with the release of his first proper solo album, Former Lives, a few weeks ago, he's walking away from Death Cab for Cutie. Well, whew! After 15 years together -- and following more than a year of touring behind 2011's Codes and Keys -- the band is merely taking an extended breather. Gibbard, meanwhile, found a home for a batch of songs he's been sitting on for a while, some that go back as far as eight years.
