Atlantic Records’ 8x Grammy® award nominated band ‘Death Cab for Cutie’ has officially announced the release of their upcoming ninth studio album. Heralded by first single, “Gold Rush”, “Thank You for Today” arrives everywhere on Friday, August 17th.

The band will celebrate their new album with a much anticipated fall tour which will span intimate venues and theatres across North America and begins on September 24th at Eugene, OR’s Hult Center for the Performing Arts. Meanwhile, Death Cab for Cutie are currently poised to embark on a limited series of sold-out international summer live dates, including headline shows in Amstelveen, NL and London – the latter set for June 18th as part of Robert Smith’s Meltdown at the Southbank Centre.

Thank You for Today is the sound of Death Cab for Cutie both expanding and refining; a band twenty years into its evolution, still uncovering new curves in its signatures, new sonic corners to explore. The Seattle band’s ninth studio album, recorded in Los Angeles with producer Rich Costey in late 2017 and early 2018, stands alongside classic Death Cab for Cutie albums including their 1998 debut Something About Airplanes and 2003’s masterful Transatlanticism as a definitive collection – ten tracks that are by turns beautiful and dynamic and darkly anthemic and bittersweet.
