“Twenty-five years into its career, the band brings its incisive, anguished writing to a particularly 2022 brand of existential angst on its 10^th album, ‘Asphalt Meadows’… an expansive album…” – THE NEW YORK TIMES 

“If you haven’t heard yet, Death Cab for Cutie is back back… [their] best album in over a decade...” – VULTURE

8x GRAMMY® Award-nominated rock band Death Cab for Cutie has released “Foxglove Through The Clearcut (Acoustic)” (listen here), the latest offering from their forthcoming LP, Asphalt Meadows (Acoustic). The new record – due out March 10^th (pre-save here) – is a stripped-down take on the band’s critically acclaimed 10^th studio album ‘Asphalt Meadows,’ released this past September via Atlantic Records. 

Co-produced by Andy Park (Pedro the Lion, Joseph, Noah Gunderson) and Death Cab for Cutie, Asphalt Meadows (Acoustic) is now available to pre-order on vinyl here.  

The original iteration of “Foxglove Through The Clearcut” was released to immediate critical acclaim last August, with Vulture declaring the semi-spoken word opus as one of “The Best Songs of 2022 (So Far)” and The Daily Beast expounding upon this idea, sharing, “The consensus… about ‘Foxglove Through The Clearcut’ is that it may already be one of Death Cab’s best songs.”

Today, Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service have also announced three new dates on their highly-anticipated co-headline tour, celebrating the 20^th anniversaries of each band’s seminal 2003 record – Transatlanticism and Give Up, respectively – and set for September-October 2023. 

The iconic bands, both fronted by lead vocalist and guitarist Ben Gibbard, have added a third night in Denver, CO at Mission Ballroom, as well as brand new dates in Austin, TX and Grand Prairie, TX. Pre-sales for these three shows will begin on Wednesday, March 1^st at 10am (local); general onsale will begin on Friday, March 3^rd at 10am (local) – sign up for early access to tickets here. 

Additionally, Warpaint and The Beths have been added as support on select dates, while Built to Spill is set to support the second LA show at the Hollywood Bowl [October 15^th] and Iron & Wine – known for their beloved rendition of The Postal Service’s “Such Great Heights” – will kick off the third and final Hollywood Bowl date [October 17^th], which will also mark the culmination of the historic tour. 

Having been named one of GQ’s “12 Pop Culture Releases We’re Most Looking Forward to in 2023” and of the “23 concerts and albums” the Los Angeles Times is “most excited for in 2023,” the previously-announced co-headline tour dates are almost entirely sold-out [full routing for all upcoming dates enclosed below]. 

All upcoming ticketing information can be accessed here – including Death Cab for Cutie’s UK/EU run in support of Asphalt Meadows, which begins March 5^th in Copenhagen and includes stops in Berlin, Amsterdam, Dublin, and London, among many other cities. The third North American leg of the Asphalt Meadows tour will commence May 31^st in Indianapolis.

Alongside last month’s announcement of the 12-track acoustic LP, Death Cab for Cutie shared a rework of standout album track “Pepper” as well as a moving cover of “The Plan” (listen here) – released in tribute to the late Mimi Parker, their close friend and drummer for the iconic band Low. 

Also last month, the five-piece shared the stunning lyric video for the original studio version of “Pepper” (watch here), directed by frequent visual collaborator Juliet Bryant (Justin Vernon, Japanese Breakfast, Laura Jane Grace). And upon debuting at radio in mid-January, the track became the most added song at both the Alternative and Triple A formats. Since then, it has quickly ascended to #3 at Triple A and #15 at Alternative radio and continues to rise. 

In addition to Death Cab for Cutie’s acoustic album and the band’s latest touring news, Gibbard recently wrote and recorded the original theme song for Apple TV+’s newest comedy series, ‘Shrinking.’ Performed by Gibbard and co-written with award-winning composer Tom Howe, “Frightening Fishes (Main Title Theme)” (listen here) will score each episode’s opening credits. ‘Shrinking’ stars Jason Segel and Harrison Ford, and was created by Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Scrubs).
