Death Cab For Cutie are back with their first full-length in four years, and their first for their new label ANTI- Records.

It’s going to be titled ‘I Built You A Tower’ and will be released on June 05. It follows on from 2022’s ‘Asphalt Meadows’.

Bassist Nick Hamer had this to say about the record’s creation, stating, “We felt part of this powerful force greater than all of us and went into the studio with a sense of, how can we capture that feeling and put it into something new?” Harmer continues, “The whole experience of this record got us back to the earliest versions of this band: If the musicians in the room like what we’re working on, that’s enough. We reconnected with the confidence that comes with that.”

The artwork looks like this:

Whilst the tracklisting is more like this:

1. Full of Stars
2. Punching The Flowers
3. Pep Talk
4. I Built You A Tower (a)
5. Envy The Birds
6. Stone Over Water
7. How Heavenly a State
8. Trap Door
9. Riptides
10. The Flavor of Metal
11. I Built You A Tower (b)

The first taste of the confidence the band felt is out now as well, in the form of ‘Riptides’, a beautifully paced and wonderfully intricate piece of alternative tapestry weaving. A showcase of the emotion that has bolstered the band’s output throughout their journey, delivered in a way that feels as familiar as it does fresh. Thoughful, tender and thrilling all in equal measure.

The band will also be heading out on tour across the US and Europe in support of the album. All of the dates look like this.
