Death Cab for Cutie

Death Cab for Cutie's 11th studio album, I Built You A Tower, marks the band?s return to their independent roots. Produced and engineered by John Congleton and assembled from a mere three weeks of sessions, the album was recorded at Animal Rites in Los Angeles, as well as the band members? homes in Seattle, Bellingham, Los Angeles and Portland. The album's first single, ?Riptides?, is the band's 9th #1 at Adult Alternative radio. I Built You A Tower is an album of reconciling with past selves in order to locate a new future. Harmer says, ?The whole experience of this record got us back to the earliest versions of this band: If the musicians in the room like what we?re working on, that?s enough. We reconnected with the confidence that comes with that.? As such, this is not the dreaded ?return to form? narrative, but a reclamation of a core ethos that has run through Death Cab for Cutie?s 30-year history.
