Death Cab for Cutie’s 2008 album Narrow Stairs didn’t immediately grab me the way their last two discs did, but I’ve come to really like it. The one song I unequivocally loved on first listen was “Grapevine Fires,” a haunting, beautifully paced track about the effects of the 2007 Southern California wildfires. Death Cab’s Ben Gibbard experienced the conflagration first hand.

Now two Death Cab fans have made a wonderful animated video for the song. According to Wired’s Underwire blog, where I first saw it, the video was created by Bill Barminski and Christopher Louie of Walter Robot Studios. This gives me the chills.
