Death Cab for Cutie has released a new song called "Punching the Flowers," a track off the band's upcoming album, I Built You a Tower.
"'Punching the Flowers' is a song about stagnation and the feeling of being imprisoned by The Known," says frontman Ben Gibbard in a statement. "And about the damage done when someone ventures deeper into the unknown."
You can watch the video for "Punching the Flowers" on YouTube.
I Built You a Tower, the follow-up to 2022's Asphalt Meadows, is due out June 5. It also includes the single "Riptides."
Death Cab for Cutie will launch a U.S. tour in July.
