Last month, Death Cab For Cutie announced their ANTI- debut, I Built You A Tower. Ben Gibbard and company shared the lead single “Riptides,” and now the band’s back with the much rowdier tune “Punching The Flowers.”
“Punching The Flowers’ is a song about stagnation and the feeling of being imprisoned by The Known,” Gibbard explains. “And about the damage done when someone ventures deeper into the unknown.”
“Punching The Flowers” follows a man stuck in a fatalist cycle, ravaged by frustration but not wanting to get better. The guitars are laden with emotion and Jason McGerr is hitting those drums. Watch the accompanying Jason Lester-directed music video below.
I Built You A Tower is out 6/5 on ANTI-.
