Death Cab for Cutie Release Covert Art and Tracklist for Codes and Keys

Death Cab for Cutie are set to release their 7th studio album on May 31 via Atlantic Records. According to guitarist Chris Walla, the band will be departing from their typical guitar strumming and will be using a lot more reverb and synths. While I think it still pales in comparison to their masterpiece, Transatlantacism, I still really enjoyed Narrow Stairs.  But I got bored with that sound from them soon after hearing The Open Book EP. So I am glad to hear that they will be changing things up again and continuing to evolve as a band, and am real excited to hear Codes and Keys.  Then again, I get excited pretty much any time Benjamin Gibbard is writing songs.  I will probably buy this album, regardless of the amount of praise/criticism it receives, just to hear some new words from Gibbard.  I have posted the newly released tracklist below and to go along with it are a few live cuts for your listening pleasure.
