Clocking in at a whopping 8 minutes, the first single from Death Cab For Cutie’s new album Narrow Stairs has just been released. ‘I Will Possess Your Heart’ is available now via Amazon.com and the bands label Atlantic. The single is also available to stream over on the bands myspace page. Certainly a bold statement, the track building slowly as a brooding instrumental, it’s not until 4:38 that Ben Gibbards vocal kicks in. Definately a grower though, and quite frankly, this band could release an album of them farting and I’d still love it.

Excitement for the album grows too, being released on May 13th. This will be the bands second album for major label Atlantic. Lets hope for something a little more consistent than the patchy Plans.

1. Bixby Canyon Bridge
2. I Will Possess Your Heart
