Today, Death Cab for Cutie announced that their 10th studio album Asphalt Meadows is getting an acoustic treatment. The new version of the album was co-produced with Andy Park and is out March 10 via Atlantic Records. With the news, DCFC shared a reworking of the album highlight "Pepper" along with a cover of Low's "The Plan" as a tribute to the late Mimi Parker.
“I first saw Low in 1994 opening for Sunny Day Real Estate at the OK Hotel in Seattle," Ben Gibbard said in a press statement. "Since then, they’ve been one of the most influential and important bands of my life. It was the fulfillment of my teenage self’s indie rock dream when our bands became friends while on tour together in 2012. We were incredibly saddened by Mimi’s passing this past November. She was an incredible artist and an even better human being. We believe the best way to remember the musicians we lose is to play their songs. ‘The Plan’ has always been one of our favorite Low songs and is presented here in tribute to Mimi.”
Listen to both "Pepper" and their cover of "The Plan" below.
