It's been four years since the world has heard new music from Death Cab For Cutie with Codes and Keys, but now its new album has finally arrived. Beginning today, DCFC's eighth studio album Kintsugi is available to be streamed in full ahead of its March 31 release date.

Alongside upcoming releases from Sufjan Stevens, JEFF the Brotherhood and Lower Dens, NPR has the full album stream of Kitsungi available for the entire week before the album's official release.

Kintsugi is Death Cab For Cutie's first album since 2011, and the band's first without founding guitarist and frequent producer Chris Walla. Instead, Death Cab gave the reigns over to Los Angeles producer Rich Costey, who has previously worked with Foo Fighters, Muse, The Shins, Interpol and Foster the People.

The result is a quiet, contemplative album, not unlike fans have heard from a more grown up Death Cab For Cutie in its post-Plans albums.

The album was led by single "Black Sun," but ahead of the official release of Kitsungi, Death Cab For Cutie released the first four songs on the album, which also included "Room in Frame," "The Ghosts of Beverly Drive" and "Little Wanderer."
