Death Cab For Cutie have revealed the title of their forthcoming album, which is set to be released this spring.
The follow-up to 2005's 'Plans' is called 'Narrow Stairs' and is due out in the US in May.
The band have been recording the new album in Portland and San Francisco, and have posted a video of recording studio footage on their website.
The band will also play at this year's Coachella Festival in Indio, California on April 26.
In a recent Billboard piece, the band is promising a "curve ball" and though it will have a number of slower songs, the band is promising some surprises:
"It's really weird. It's really, really good, I think, but it's totally a curve ball, and I think it's gonna be a really polarizing record. But I'm really excited about it. It's really got some teeth. The landscape of the thing is way, way more lunar than the urban meadow sort of thing that has been happening for the last couple of records."
"[It's also] louder and more dissonant and ... I think abrasive would be a good word to use. [We were influenced by] heavy, sludgy, slow metal [and] synth-punk band Braniac."
