John Congleton produced and engineered it over three weeks at Animal Rites, his studio in Los Angeles, with additional parts recorded remotely by the band in Seattle, Bellingham, Los Angeles and Portland. Congleton also produced \u003cem\u003eAsphalt Meadows\u003c\/em\u003e in 2022. Carlos de la Garza mixed and Matt Colton mastered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBen Gibbard wrote all the lyrics and composed the music except where the credits name Dave Depper, Nicholas Harmer or Zac Rae. He has described the record's governing image directly: \"I see the tower existing on your emotional horizon. You don't always have to look at what's inside it, but it's a reminder that it happened. You know it's there. You have to face it.\" Asked whether it is a divorce record, he said people can take it that way, but that it is about compartmentalizing grief in order to get through the day rather than about the divorce itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe arrangements sit heavier than the band's recent work, and Gibbard has named Fugazi as the reference point: \"The thing I love about those Fugazi records is there's just nowhere to hide in the arrangement. Everything in there is essential because there's only four voices.\" \"Stone Over Water\" was left off the band's own preferred running order until Congleton argued for it, and its original nine-minute krautrock outro was cut on his advice. \"Riptides\" was the first single, announced with the album in March 2026, followed by \"Punching the Flowers\" in April and \"Stone Over Water\" in June.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEleven tracks, 38:34. The album reached number 12 on the Scottish Albums chart, number 20 on the German Rock \u0026amp; Metal chart and number 20 on the Irish Independent Albums chart, and holds a Metacritic score of 83 from 17 reviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull of Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePunching the Flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePep Talk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Built You A Tower (a)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvy the Birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone Over Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Heavenly A State\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrap Door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiptides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Flavor of Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Built You A Tower (b)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e*** Indie Exclusive ***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 045778817009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Anti","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48229791563934,"sku":"045778817009","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/DCFC_FrostedTealiex_798ff55d-335b-4192-bda4-a3b3ec9a34d1.png?v=1791552676","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/death-cab-for-cutie-i-built-you-a-tower-indie-exclusive-frosted-teal-lp","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
