Local indie-rock heroes, Death Cab for Cutie (perhaps you’ve heard their catchy tunes on television’s the o.c.?) are releasing The John Byrd EP [$] through former main-squeeze Barsuk Records. Perhaps following in the footsteps of Dave Eggers’s independent-only [hardcover] release of You Shall Know Our Velocity! [$], the new live album will be sold only online and in “stores … that have been instrumental in our success since the release of something about airplanes way back in ‘98.”

Start the lineup at your friendly neighborhood Sonic Boom or Easy Street: the disc arrives in stores on 1 March.

If you’re out of town that day, plan accordingly and consult the national list of DCFC-worthy record shops. [barsuk]
