Death Cab For Cutie have announced the title for their newest album. Codes and Keys will be released next spring. Speaking with Stereogum, vocalist Ben Gibbard likened the sound to Brian Eno's Another Green World, though bassist Nick Harmer said the band hasn't gotten rid of guitars altogether. Harmer said,

"There are just less of them than before and we're using them in different ways this time. Ben was really inspired by writing on acoustic guitar and on a piano, so often those parts become voices or keyboard lines, rather than guitar parts. We really experimented with piecing the songs together in different ways and using the studio differently, so this a much less guitar-centric album than we've ever made before."
