Death Cab for Cutie have released their new track “Foxglove Through The Clearcut”, taken from their highly-anticipated tenth studio album Asphalt Meadows, due out September 16th. The meditative track is accompanied by a striking lyric video designed by frequent visual collaborator Juliet Bryant (Justin Vernon, Japanese Breakfast, Laura Jane Grace). Listen to it now below.
Of “Foxglove Through The Clearcut,” lead vocalist and guitarist Ben Gibbard shares, “Foxglove is by far the most personal song on the record. While I was writing it, I thought I was merely the narrator. But the longer I sat with it, I realized I was both the protagonist AND the narrator.”
The new song follows “Here to Forever” and “Roman Candles”, all taken from Asphalt Meadows, which is available for pre-order HERE.
Asphalt Meadows was produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner John Congleton (St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, Wallows). Alongside news of the forthcoming album, the band also unveiled plans for their wide-ranging fall US headline tour. The run kicks off September 22 at The Sylvee in Madison, WI and culminates with a two-night hometown finale at Seattle, WA’s Paramount Theatre on October 26 and 27. The tour will feature support from Low and Yo La Tengo on select dates and includes a much anticipated return to NY’s Forest Hills Stadium on September 30.
