Plans earned Death Cab For Cutie RIAA platinum certification and a GRAMMY® Award nomination for Best Alternative Album. It also spawned the chart-topping singles “Soul Meets Body,” “Crooked Teeth,” and “I Will Follow You into the Dark,” the latter of which was honored with a GRAMMY® nod for Best Pop Performance By Duo Or Group With Vocals.
Ben Gibbard says, “Plans is an album that changed the trajectory of Death Cab for Cutie forever — it was our major label debut, it went platinum, and earned us our first GRAMMY nominations. We are only playing a few shows in its honor as we’re currently working on our next studio album, but we would be remiss to not take the opportunity to celebrate the 20th anniversary in some fashion.”
