Our guest this week is Ben Gibbard from Death Cab for Cutie. Nearly thirty years into one of indie rock's most celebrated careers, Death Cab have continued to grow, evolve and connect with audiences in a way very few bands manage to sustain. Last week they returned with I Built You A Tower, their eleventh studio album and their first on an indie label in twenty years. It's a record that draws on everything sonically the band have built across their catalogue, and one that feels like a genuine statement from a group who have never been content to stand still. On today's episode, Ben Gibbard joins us to talk about returning to an indie label and what that meant for the making of the record, the sonic world of I Built You A Tower, the songwriting process behind these new songs, and what Australian fans can expect when the band tour here in November.
