Critically acclaimed band Death Cab for Cutie releases Kintsugi, their eighth studio album, on March 31. The effort is their follow-up to their 2011 Grammy award nominated album Codes and Keys and it’s their first project sans guitarist/keyboardist Chris Walla.
Kintsugi was recorded in Los Angeles with Rich Costey (Interpol, Muse, Franz Ferdinand) serving as a producer, with the moniker taken from the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics while refusing to hide the object’s cracks.

Track listing for Kintsugi (track 5’s name is just as memorable as one of their more signature tunes, “I Will Follow You Into The Dark”):
- No Room In Frame
