Death Cab for Cutie Announce Summer Tour And New Record Deal

(PPR) Indie rock titans Death Cab for Cutie have joined the ANTI- Records family for future music releases and have also announced a summer headlining tour.
Nearly thirty years into their iconic career, the eight-time GRAMMY-nominated band joins a storied roster of indie stalwarts, including Tom Waits, Mavis Staples and Neko Case, in addition to MJ Lenderman, Fleet Foxes, Waxahatchee, Slow Pulp and more.

This partnership marks a return to the band's independent roots, which began with their 1997 formation and continued through their first four albums Stateside on Barsuk Records. Six albums for Atlantic Records followed, two of which achieved Platinum certification. Stay tuned for news on new music soon.

"We are thrilled to be joining the roster at ANTI- which includes some of our favourite artists, old friends and in many cases, both," shares Gibbard. "We also can't wait to begin this new chapter with the wonderful staff at ANTI- and share with you what we've been working on."

Their summer tour begins July 10th in Minneapolis and includes a two-night run at The Greek in Los Angeles. Japanese Breakfast, Nation of Language, and Jay Som will support on select dates. Presale begins Wednesday, January 28th at 10am local time with the general on sale to the public starting at 10am local on Friday, January 30th.

These performances come on the heels of a historic, sold-out global tour in marking the 20th anniversary of the album Transatlanticism, where the band headlined All Points East in London, and the release of their universally acclaimed 10th studio effort, 2022's Asphalt Meadows.

"One of my favourite parts of being in this band is getting to be out on the road with artists that inspire us. Japanese Breakfast, Jay Som and Nation of Language have made some of our favourite albums in recent years and we're stoked they'll be joining us this summer," adds Gibbard.
