Death Cab For Cutie New Album Coming Early 2015, Also Announced Guitarist Chris Walla Leaving the Band
Death Cab For Cutie have announced a new album coming in early 2015. They have been recording with producer Rich Costey for their yet-to-be-titled eight studio album.
The band also announced that guitarist Chris Walla will be leaving the band to pursue other projects. He will be joining the band on the remainder of the summer festival shows (see dates below).
Chris wrote in a statement to Slog, "I will miss being a quarter of this band, and will support whatever course Death Cab for Cutie chooses from here. I am profoundly grateful to Ben, Nick, and Jason, for the experiences that define my adult life. Truly grateful, beyond words. Thank you. I am also grateful to, and deeply humbled by, all of our fans. Without you, music would be mere 'content' and nothing could possibly be sadder than that. Thank you all, so dearly."
Death Cab for Cutie released a follow-up statement about Chris via press release:
"We've had an incredible 17 years of making music with Chris and are very proud of what we've accomplished together, including our 8th studio album which we have just put the finishing touches on," stated Ben Gibbard, Nick Harmer and Jason McGerr. "We will miss Chris and wish him all the best in the next chapter of his career. We're excited about sharing new music, and seeing all of you very soon."
