Death Cab for Cutie have made plans to release a new EP titled The Open Door later this year. The band made the following update:
When we finished Narrow Stairs, there were four extra songs that, because we were trying to put together an album, we ended up not including them — it's not like they're castoffs or anything; they're part of the Narrow Stairs experience. They needed to have a proper home, and the EP is it. There's going to be four songs on it, plus the original version of 'Talking Bird' that features Ben singing and playing the ukulele.
