San Francisco’s Magik*Magik Orchestra not only provided strings arrangements for Death Cab for Cutie‘s most recent album, Grammy-nominated Codes & Keys, but the ensemble also backed the Seattle band for its VH1 Storytellers taping.

Unlike most symphonic outings, however, this one isn’t such a limited run, with dates kicking off April 10 in Denver and stretching across the country (plus a stop in Montreal) through mid-May.
