Of the experience working with Bangs, lead vocalist and guitarist Ben Gibbard shares:
"We’ve known Lance for years and it was great to get a chance to work with him again. He took this concept I had come up with and made it better than we could ever have imagined. The dude is brilliant and a total blast to work with."

Death Cab for Cutie’s tenth album Asphalt Meadows is due out September 16th. Included below is the press release from the release of “Roman Candles” earlier this month, which officially announced the album and the band’s eponymous fall headline tour.
Death Cab For Cutie
8x GRAMMY® Award-nominated rock band Death Cab for Cutie returns 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 – is available at all DSPs and streaming services via Atlantic Records (buy/stream here). The song arrives with an official lyric video designed by Juliet Bryant (Justin Vernon, Japanese Breakfast, Laura Jane Grace). Asphalt Meadows arrives everywhere on Friday, September 16. Pre-orders are available now 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 Gibbard’s 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.”
Also unveiled today is a wide-ranging US headline tour to celebrate the arrival of Asphalt Meadows. The run kicks off September 22 at The Sylvee in Madison, WI and culminates with a two-night hometown finale at Seattle, WA’s Paramount Theatre on October 26 and 27 (full routing enclosed). The tour will feature support from Low and Yo La Tengo on select dates.
