Seminal 2000s indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie have announced today that they've signed to ANTI- Records for future releases, following the conclusion of their contract with Atlantic. They join a roster of indie powerhouses like Neko Case, Fleet Foxes, MJ Lenderman, and many more.

Frontman Ben Gibbard is using the occasion to hint at new music on the horizon, saying:

"We are thrilled to be joining the roster at ANTI- which includes some of our favorite artists, old friends and in many cases, both. We also can’t wait to begin this new chapter with the wonderful staff at ANTI- and share with you what we’ve been working on." 

The band have also announced a summer headline tour across North America, beginning on July 10th in Minneapolis. Japanese Breakfast, Nation of Language, and Jay Som will support on select dates.
