Dates below. The band comments on "Rand McNally":
This song was written for everyone we toured with back in the day, for everyone who let us sleep on their floor and for past bandmates. After all these years, they deserve their own folk song. But also a promise to keep going and keep creating.
Death Cab for Cutie will also be hosting a "Live From Home" on September 12th to celebrate the release of Asphalt Meadows and benefit reproductive rights non-profit, The Brigid Alliance, The band will be performing songs from the record, hosting a Q+A, as well as talk about the new album.
