Death Cab for Cutie reveals Stairs art, adds dates

It's been a couple months full of Death Cab for Cutie news, with the news that their new album had a name and the subsequent release of said album's first single via the magic of the interweb. Now, the band has revealed the album art (see above) and announced a few new dates.

Death Cab will brings its new jams to a city that's possibly near you, if you happen to live in the Northeast, or in Oregon, Colorado, the Mid-Atlantic, Ohio or Texas. Hmmm... After looking at that schedule, it seems Ben Gibbard and Co. should petition for a change in tour venues. That schedule doesn't make much sense. However, don't feel too sorry for the Death Cab boys. After all, Gibbard is probably happy to see civilization again after what he went through for his upcoming Paste cover story.

Curious? Look forward to our May issue.
