Former Lives is the debut solo album by Death Cab for Cutie lead singer Ben Gibbard. It was released in October 2012 under Barsuk Records. Many of the album's tracks feature Gibbard playing all instruments by himself. Aaron Espinoza is credited as producer for all tracks except 1, 5, 10, 11, and 12.

Walla was impressed by the sound, leading him to suggest they do a quick tracking of the performance.
