Death Cab For Cutie have shared "Punching The Flowers", the second single from their 11th studio album I Built You A Tower, out 5th June via ANTI- Records. The track is described by frontman Benjamin Gibbard as a gnarled, angular rock song built around a real-life moment of a toddler having a tantrum and literally punching flowers outside a bodega, transformed into a metaphor for a man who finds something beautiful but feels caged by it, the video has been directed by Jason Lester‘Punching the Flowers’ is a song about stagnation and the feeling of being imprisoned by The Known,” Gibbard explains. “And about the damage done when someone ventures deeper into the unknown.”
