Death Cab For Cutie reveal new album and UK/European tour

Death Cab For Cutie have announced details of their brand-new studio LP, I Built You A Tower.

The band’s 11th album will drop on June 5 via ANTI- Records, with lead single Riptides out today (March 16). Vocalist Ben Gibbard says that this first peek “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.”

Check out Riptides below:
