I actually happened to be thinking about them just yesterday & thought they’d be due to release new stuff soon & lo & behold I see this thread! That’s a closer date than I had in mind too no less. I’m excited to hear what they’ll have coming. Thinking about catching them on tour too.

This doesn’t feel like a radio single to me - it’s surprisingly noisy for a Death Cab song and doesn’t have a radio-friendly structure. It’s good though, better than anything from their last era.

I didn't enjoy the industrial sound effix. I don't see the point of them rather than to try something new. Whatever. The song has a nice melody and it would probably sound better in acapella.

Probably their worst lead single.

I'm guessing this is a promo single since there's no adds date or CNM push out for this one?

I'm sorry but this is awful. I hope this isn't the lead

I don't think this is bad at all based on one listen, but then again I do tend to differ from the consensus on what the better DCFC singles are. Last era I preferred "Gold Rush" over "Northern Lights" by a good measure, and also preferred all the singles from Kintsugi over the latter.
I do agree that this isn't that radio-friendly, but then again they have a tendency to go with less obvious choices for first singles.

Surprised to see all the hate (not really); I like this and it’s refreshing coming from them.

This is really solid and a welcome change for them. Their 2010's stuff was good but didn't move the needle in terms of their discography. I like that they're finally trying something new.

Yeah I do like this, but it's also not for radio. Pretty sure they'll push something else unless the pull off a Nine Inch Nails (which I doubt).

Two adds at AAA this week.
I'm pretty sure this isn't gonna be the radio single, but just gonna keep this here since it'll probably chart.

What the hell did this end up being? Was it even really released?

The song gets the acoustic solo treatment from Benjamin on KEXP.
