Death Cab for Cutie has shared a new two-sided 12-inch single called “An Arrow in the Wall,” featuring a remix of the tune from CHVRCHES. With an original recording produced by John Congleton, the new single arrives with visualizers courtesy of frequent collaborator Juliet Bryant.
“‘An Arrow in the Wall’ is about the warning signs all around us in the 21st century that society-at-large is in decay,” Death Cab’s Ben Gibbard shared of the track. “The arrow lodged in the wall might have missed this time, but it would be naive to assume the next one won’t also.” Regarding the remix, he added: “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.”
Death Cab is currently gearing up to embark upon their co-headlining tour with The Postal Service this fall. The run will celebrate the 20th anniversary of two seminal albums—Death Cab for Cutie’s Transatlanticism and The Postal Service’s Give Up. Meanwhile, CHVRCHES just announced their own plans for a major anniversary campaign: a special edition reissue of their debut album The Bones of What You Believe, which turns 10 years old next month.
