Death Cab for Cutie's 10th studio album, Asphalt Meadows, is pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Vinyl comes with a limited-time digital download card. The album follows the band's 2018 album Thank You for Today. The lead single, "Roman Candles," "is about the crippling, existential dread that goes hand in hand with living in a nervous city on a dying planet. And that the only way to be in the moment is to let it all go."
