Kintsugi will be Death Cab For Cutie’s 8th LP and first album since 2011’s Codes and Keys. The album title references a Japanese style of art where fractured, broken ceramics are put back together with very obvious, real gold, making the repair of an object a visual part of its history. Death Cab lead singer Ben Gibbard says Kintsugi is a reference to the recent departure of founding member and producer Chris Walla, who left the band last fall.
