Pitchfork:
Atlantic will release The Open Door to digital retailers on March 31. The band will start selling physical copies of the EP on tour starting April 5, and then regular stores will get it on April 14. The EP includes four unreleased songs and one demo version of the Narrow Stairs track “Talking Bird”. Death Cab will tour hard this spring and summer, and they’ve added shows with fellow indie heavies like Andrew Bird and Ra Ra Riot. And at their July 5 show at the Hollywood Bowl, the Los Angeles Philharmonic will back them up. You didn’t really think Death Cab would abstain from the whole bands-playing-with-orchestras trend, did you?
