Death Cab For Cutie have officially unveiled their brand-new album, I Built You A Tower.

The record lands on June 5 via ANTI- Records, with lead single Riptides dropping yesterday. Frontman Ben Gibbard explains that the track explores “the challenge of dealing with personal struggles as the world around us experiences tragedy and loss on an unfathomable scale – and how when these two elements intertwine in our psyches, it can feel utterly paralysing.”

Check out Riptides below:
