Find the dates, the album’s artwork (a photo by Benjamin Gibbard), and the new song below.
“‘Roman Candles’ is about the crippling, existential dread that goes hand in hand with living in a nervous city on a dying planet,” the band said of the new song in a statement. “And that the only way to be in the moment is to let it all go.” The last Death Cab for Cutie album was 2018’s Thank You for Today.
