Death Cab for Cutie Asphalt Meadows (180g Vinyl LP) * * *

Death Cab for Cutie return on Barsuk Records with their highly-anticipated tenth studio album, Asphalt Meadows which is introduced by lead single "Roman Candles." The band notes that the track "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 follow-up to 2018's Thank You For Today is produced by John Congleton (St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, Wallows).
