Leaner and heavier than anything the band has made in years, I Built You A Tower is Death Cab for Cutie's eleventh studio album.

Produced by John Congleton, who also helmed Asphalt Meadows, it was recorded in just three weeks at his Los Angeles studio. Ben Gibbard wrote much of it while the band toured anniversary shows for Transatlanticism and Plans, during the end of his marriage, though he has framed the album as being more about how people compartmentalise grief to get through the day. It is also their first album for Anti-, after more than two decades with Atlantic.

Gibbard has pointed to Fugazi as a reference, and you can hear it in the tougher guitars and a rhythm section that pushes rather than floats. Riptides is the most immediate moment, while Stone Over Water, a song Congleton argued to keep on the record, becomes its emotional anchor.

Punching the Flowers adds bite, and the title track appears in two parts, the second closing the record and tying its ideas together with quiet, lingering force.

Gibbard's voice remains the warm centre of it all, and for a band well into its third decade, this sounds remarkably alive and refreshingly unafraid of a little noise.
