Death Cab For Cutie are finally releasing a follow-up to 2015’s Kintsugi.

The alternative rockers have revealed that their ninth studio album will be released in August 2018 and shared a teaser trailer that features a snippet of new music.

Alongside the announcement of yet-untitled record, the band revealed dates for their upcoming tour.

You can check out the teaser below.

Death Cab For Cutie hinted at a new record back in November 2017, when they posted a photo from the studio with caption: “LP9 // 2018.”

This upcoming album will be the first for the band since founding member and guitarist Chris Walla left the band in 2014 in order to focus on his solo career and producing. Still, Walla was involved in Kintsugi, and according to drummer Jason McGerr, he “played on everything and has been involved all the way through, even in the mixing.”

In 2016, Death Cab For Cutie promoted touring musicians Dave Depper and Zac Rae to full-time members of the band in order to compensate for Chris Walla’s exit.

Following the release of their new album, Death Cab For Cutie will embark on a tour in fall. After two shows in Europe, the band will tour the U.S. and will also play at Sao Paolo’s Popload Festival.
