Death Cab for Cutie announces album release (sort of)

This morning, as borderline obsessive followers of Death Cab for Cutie logged onto their favorite band's website, they were greeted with two tasty treats to accompany their coffee. First, the Seattle darlings have revamped their home page. New videos and pictures are now available for all to enjoy.

Still, what fans might have been more excited to see in the early hours of the morn was the splendid new intro that welcomes them into the band’s new digital abode. The video displays footage of Death Cab in the recording studio, and best of all announces a release month for the band's upcoming album.

According to this little slice of cinema, Death Cab will have its new record ready to drop in May 2008. This will be the first LP that the band has put out since 2005's Plans.
