Death Cab for Cutie has shared new two-sided, 12” single, “An Arrow in the Wall”.

With an original recording produced by John Congleton, today’s release also includes a remix by synth-pop band CHVRCHES and visualizers courtesy of frequent collaborator Juliet Bryant (Justin Vernon, Japanese Breakfast, Laura Jane Grace).

Of today’s release, lead vocalist and guitarist Ben Gibbard shares: “"An Arrow In the Wall" is about the warning signs all around us in the 21st century that society-at-large is in decay. The arrow lodged in the wall might have missed this time, but it would be naive to assume the next one won’t also. We have been good friends with CHVRCHES since touring together in 2019. They took our maudlin little dance track and turned it into a major key club banger.”

“An Arrow in the Wall” follows a series of exciting announcements from the band, who is gearing up to embark upon their highly-anticipated co-headline tour with The Postal Service this Autumn.

The tour will bring together tens of thousands of fans to celebrate the 20th anniversary of two seminal albums – Death Cab for Cutie’s Transatlanticism and The Postal Service’s Give Up, both released back in 2003.

"An Arrow In the Wall" is out now. The release is also available to order on vinyl.
