I Built You a Tower is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Death Cab for Cutie, released on June 5, 2026 on Anti-. Produced by John Congleton, who had worked with the band on their previous album, Asphalt Meadows, the album was preceded by the singles "Riptides", "Punching the Flowers", and "Stone Over Water". Released to critical acclaim, the album's lyrics were inspired by frontman Ben Gibbard's recent divorce. The album features a heavier rock aesthetic throughout, with the band working together as a live five-piece during the writing and recording process. It is the band's first studio album in over twenty-three years to be released on an independent record label, after the band parted ways with their longtime label, Atlantic Records, the previous year. Upon the album's release, I Built You a Tower reached number eighty on the Billboard 200, number fourteen on the Billboard Independent Albums Chart and number eighty-nine on the UK Albums Chart.
