Ben Gibbard's return post divorce is a solid one in the way of the new track "Teardrop Windows." A smart career move by Gibbard, not destroying his main brand in Death Cab For Cutie, and going his own route for what's sure to be a sad look back at the past. That being said, the surprise is in the more upbeat nature of this track at least musically. Lyrically, it's immediately lonely and paints a sad picture, but this is Gibbard's strength. His album Former Lives, is out October 15th.
