Today, indie rock titans and eight-time GRAMMY nominees Death Cab for Cutie announce their 11th studio album. ‘I Built You A Tower’, will be released on June 5th via ANTI- Records. The move marks the band’s return to their independent roots after 20 years on Atlantic Records. Produced and engineered by John Congleton and assembled from a mere three weeks of sessions, I Built You A Tower was recorded at Animal Rites in Los Angeles, as well as the band members’ homes in Seattle, Bellingham, Los Angeles and Portland.
Alongside today’s album announcement, Death Cab for Cutie share the album’s propulsive first single, ‘Riptides’. Speaking on the single, Gibbard says, “Riptides is about the challenge of dealing with personal struggles as the world around us experiences tragedy and loss on an unfathomable scale. And how, when these two elements intertwine themselves in our psyches, it feels utterly paralysing.”
