'It's the project this year for us,' drummer Jason McGerr tells MTV News.By James Montgomery Chris Walla and Jason McGerr of Death Cab for Cutie Photo: MTV News When we spoke to Death Cab for Cutie at rehearsals for the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards, they brought us up to speed on the progress of their new album, which may or may not sound a whole lot like Wilco and was still very much in its infancy. So when we caught up with them at rehearsals for another awards show (the 2010 Critics' Choice Awards, where they paid tribute to the late John Hughes with a performance of "Don't You (Forget About Me)" from "The Breakfast Club"), we decided to ask them for a new progress report on the album.
