Death Cab for Cutie has today released “Foxglove Through The Clearcut (Acoustic)” (listen here), the latest offering from their forthcoming LP, Asphalt Meadows (Acoustic). The new record – due out 10th March (pre-save here) – is a stripped-down take on the band’s critically acclaimed 10th 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.
Later this year Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service, both fronted by Ben Gibbard, will be hitting the road for their highly-anticipated co-headline tour, celebrating the 20th anniversaries of each band’s seminal 2003 record – Transatlanticism and Give Up, respectively – and set for September-October 2023.
All upcoming ticketing information can be accessed here – including Death Cab for Cutie’s UK/EU run in support of Asphalt Meadows, which begins 5th March in Copenhagen and includes stops in Berlin, Amsterdam, Dublin, and London (at the Roundhouse and Royal Albert Hall), among many other cities. The third North American leg of the Asphalt Meadows tour will commence May 31st 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.
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).
