Chris Walla - "Sing Again"

No matter what band it is, it's always a little bit strange to hear a side project involving a member of the band, especially when it's not the singer. You always expect the person to sound much different, and it's always surprising to hear how similar everything (except the vocals) is to the person's band. If I had heard this song without knowing who Chris Walla was, I'll bet I would have mentioned the fact that the song sounds exactly like something Death Cab would crank out. If you were to replace Walla's vocals with those of Ben Gibbard and record an entire album, it would have to be called The Photo Album.
