Death Cab For Cutie have released a new single, An Arrow In The Wall.
Produced by Grammy Award-winner John Congleton, the indie-rock track is anchored by hypnotic percussion and a bass groove that thumps away under frontman Ben Gibbard's soft vocals. It arrives as a two-sided 12-inch single featuring the original song and a clubby remix version by Chvrches on the flip side. Gibbard commented:
"An Arrow In The Wall is about the warning signs all around us in the 21st century that society-at-large is in decay. The arrow lodged in the wall might have missed this time, but it would be naive to assume the next one won’t also."
Discussing the remix, he continued: "We have been good friends with Chvrches since touring together in 2019. They took our maudlin little dance track and turned it into a major key club banger."
The release comes as Death Cab For Cutie prepare to embark on a co-headline US tour with Gibbard's previous outfit The Postal Service. The trek will celebrate the 20th anniversary of two albums; Death Cab for Cutie's 'Transatlanticism' and the Postal Service's 'Give Up'.
Chvrches vocalist Lauren Mayberry, meanwhile, recently announced her first solo tour, with dates lined up across the UK, Europe and North America.
