Death Cab For Cutie hate the overuse of AutoTune in recent pop songs, that they've launched a campaign to end it.
The computer software enables the singer to alter their voice and this process has become popular in the last few years - particularly with artists like T-Pain and Kanye West (who used AutoTune on each and every song on his 808s & Heartbreak album).
"Autotuning is a digital manipulation, a correction of a singer's voice that is affecting literally thousands of singers today and thousands of records that are coming out," frontman Ben Gibbard is quoted as saying.
"We just want to raise awareness while we're here and try to bring back the blue note... The note that's not so perfectly in pitch and just gives the recording some soul and some kind of real character. It's how people really sing."

Thank you Ben Gibbard
Auto-tune stinks! Sorry, have to be honest. It's not really singing.
lmfao at the campaign, are they so desperate? i like them and all, but seriously, it's none of their business, plus kanye only did it for this album, it's not like he's always done it!
