Death Cab for Cutie have announced their highly-anticipated tenth studio album Asphalt Meadows The indie rock veterans – now in their 25th year as a band formed in Bellingham, WA in 1997 and almost immediately entered the ranks of the era’s definitive bands, fuelled in large part by the remarkable power of co-founder, vocalist, guitarist, and lead songwriter Benjamin Gibbard’s complex, often bittersweet songcraft. Asphalt Meadows was produced by Grammy Award-winner John Congleton (St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, Wallows) and follows previous studio album Thank You for Today which was released in 2018.
