After two decades in the major label system, Death Cab for Cutie returned to their indie roots, signing with ANTI- Records for their brand-new eleventh album, I Built You A Tower, released June 5th. This record captures the sound of loss, compartmentalization, and grief breaking through the surface—but also the growth that emerges from falling apart. It's about acknowledging pain without letting it consume you. As Ben Gibbard explains: "I see the tower existing on your emotional horizon. You don't always have to look at what's inside it, but it's a reminder that it happened. You know it's there. You have to face it." USA Exclusive blue vinyl pressing.The band will tour in support of the new album, including a play at Outside Lands. This comes on the heels of a historic, sold-out global tour marking the 20th anniversary of the album Transatlanticism, and the release of their universally acclaimed, 2022’s Asphalt Meadow.
