Death Cab For Cutie share new single and video for "Punching The Flowers" from forthcoming LP

Indie rock titans and eight-time GRAMMY nominees Death Cab for Cutie – Benjamin Gibbard, Nicholas Harmer, Jason McGerr, Dave Depper and Zac Rae – recently announced their 11th studio album. I Built You A Tower, will be released on June 5 via ANTI- Records, and today the band shares the second single off of the forthcoming record. “Punching The Flowers,” out now, is a gnarled angular rock song in which Gibbard spins a real-life experience of a toddler throwing a tantrum literally punching flowers outside a bodega into a metaphor for a man who has something beautiful and sees its hold over him as a cage, a frustration. "’Punching the Flowers’ is a song about stagnation and the feeling of being imprisoned by The Known. And about the damage done when someone ventures deeper into the unknown,” explains Gibbard. Listen to the song now and watch its Jason Lester directed-video below.
