Death Cab for Cutie have ended their 22-year partnership with Atlantic Records and signed to Anti-. The news arrives alongside the announcement of the band’s forthcoming North American tour, which will feature Japanese Breakfast, Jay Som, and Nation of Language at select shows. Dates are listed below.

In a statement, frontman Ben Gibbard said the band is “thrilled to be joining the roster at Anti- which includes some of our favorite artists, old friends and in many cases, both.”

Atlantic signed Death Cab away from Barsuk in 2004 off the strength of the band’s first four albums, including their 2003 mainstream breakout Transatlanticism. The group went on to release six albums with the label, starting with 2005’s Plans and ending with their most recent album, 2022’s Asphalt Meadows.
