Death Cab For Cutie

Death Cab For Cutie have announced their first album since the departure of guitarist Chris Walla, named ‘Kintsugi’. The title “represents a compassionate aesthetic philosophy in which damage and wear are embraced as part of an object’s history”. Which seems, like, symbolic and shit.

What will they sound like without Walla? Could they possibly reach their earlier heights without him? What’s for dinner? Some of these questions may be answered by this new track, taken from the new long player, which is called ‘Black Sun’:

Also possibly good for question answering are the two London shows the band (still minus Walla, remember) will be playing on 8-9 Jun. Tickets for those will go on sale this Friday here.

Oh, the album’s out on 30 Mar.
