Ben Gibbard’s ‘Arthur’ Song – “When the Sun Goes Down” (Studio Version)

Back in March, we heard Ben Gibbard preview a few new tunes live in San Francisco, including the new Death Cab for Cutie title track, “Codes and Keys,” and “When the Sun Goes Down,” an original song he wrote for the forthcoming Russell Brand-starring Arthur remake. Now you can hear an official stream of the studio version — complete with a subdued, shuffling rhythm section, breezy acoustic guitar strumming, and a reverb-drenched solo that likely soundtracks one of the less comedic moments of the rom-com — above (via SKoA, via WB’s Water Tower Music).
