Death Cab For Cutie followed the natural progression of album promotion and shared a single off their upcoming album, Codes and Keys, after sharing details on the album art and tracklist. The track passes along without fanfare, mostly emphasizing on the chorus and really becoming clear in the bridge. "You Are A Tourist" is also still pretty guitar-heavy, with a clear and rhythmic melody binding most of it together, but Death Cab will have 10 other tracks to prove their statement of moving away from that six-stringed instrument. Hear the single below via soundcloud:
