The new album “Asphalt Meadowsis” follow-up to Thank You For Today. Is arriving September 16, produced by indie all-star producer John Congleton.

The lyrics were cobbled from a couple of different songs dealing with my general sense of anxiety; the feeling that the fabric that weaves a functioning society together was crumbling during the pandemic.

Back in February, Ben Gibbard assembled a tribute album in honor of Yoko Ono, which included “Death Cab’s” cover of her song “Waiting for the Sunrise”. He also presented a series of “Live From Home” livestreams throughout the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, helping raise over $250K in donations and supplies for various Seattle-area relief organisations.
