Death Cab For Cutie announce highly anticipated new album, 'Kintsugi'

Despite the departure of longtime guitarist Chris Walla this past August, Death Cab For Cutie have announced that they will be releasing their highly anticipated eighth full-length album, Kintsugi, on March 31. Check out the record's artwork and track listing below.

Read a statement from Walla on his departure from the band.

Bassist Nick Harmer spoke with Rolling Stone on the LP: 

The album's called Kintsugi. It's a Japanese style of art where they take fractured, broken ceramics and put them back together with very obvious, real gold. It's making the repair of an object a visual part of its history. That resonated with us as a philosophy, and it connected to a lot of what we were going through, both professionally and personally.

In the West, if you break an heirloom, you either throw it away or you make the repair as invisible as possible. But there's this artistic movement in Japan where the repair of it, the damage of it, is more important as part of the history of something than repairing it to its original state.

1. “No Room in Frame”
2. “Black Sun”
3. “The Ghosts of Beverly Drive”
