Death Cab For Cutie will release it on September 16th.

Death Cab For Cutie have unveiled their tenth studio album Asphalt Meadows with a new single entitled Roman Candles which they say looks at the intangible perils of modern day city living.

“‘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 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,” Ben Gibbard adds.

From May 21st, the band will be treading the Americas on and off through to the end of October.
