Death Cab for Cutie – Asphalt Meadows [LP]

Description

Anticipated new album from platinum-selling indie greats Death Cab for Cutie coming late this summer!

8x GRAMMY Award-nominated rock band Death Cab for Cutie return today with Roman Candles, the first track off their highly-anticipated tenth studio album Asphalt Meadows. The new track from the indie rock veterans now in their 25th year as a band arrives with an official lyric video designed by Juliet Bryant (Justin Vernon, Japanese Breakfast, Laura Jane Grace) watch here.

As with the forthcoming album in its entirety, Roman Candles was produced by GRAMMY Award-winner John Congleton (St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, Wallows).

Of the inspiration for the song, the band shares: Roman Candles is about the crippling, existential dread that goes hand in hand with living in a nervous city on a dying planet. And that the only way to be in the moment is to let it all go. The track was born from co-founder, lead vocalist, and guitarist Benjamin Gibbards determination to create something succinct, loud, and strikingly direct. He shares: The lyrics were cobbled from a couple of different songs dealing with my general sense of anxiety; the feeling that the fabric that weaves a functioning society together was crumbling during the pandemic.
