30 July 2019, 14:29 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Death Cab For Cutie have shared details of their forthcoming project The Blue EP, as well as unveiling the lead offering "Kids in '99".

"Kids in '99" is the second out of five tracks to feature on Death Cab For Cutie's forthcoming The Blue EP.

It's their first single since teaming up with Chance The Rapper for his album track "Do You Remember" last week.

Speaking about the single, vocalist Ben Gibbard explains, "The Olympic Pipeline explosion in 1999 was a tragedy that really affected me while we were living in Bellingham. After all these years I felt it was worthy of its own folk song."

The Blue EP will follow on from Death Cab For Cutie's 2018 album Thank You For Today.

Tracklist:

  • To The Ground
  • Kids in ’99
  • Man In Blue
  • Before The Bombs
  • Blue Bloods
"Kids in '99" is out now. Death Cab For Cutie's The Blue EP will drop on 6 September, and is available to pre-order now.
