Death Cab For Cutie have joined forces with Rolling Stone to premiere a brand new music video for “The Ghosts Of Beverly Drive,” a standout cut off their latest album, Kintsugi.

The clip follows the Bellingham trio as they give a guided tour of L.A., and serves as a somewhat depressing metaphor for celebrity culture, a theme which is found littered throughout their eighth full-length effort.

“For every great thing about the city and the experience of living there, there is an offsetting negative that, for me, makes my feeling about L.A. a net zero in terms of personal connection,” explained bassist Nick Harmer. “The culture of celebrity tours feeds into this…it leaves me feeling cold and indifferent, and we wanted to make a video that captures that feeling of detachment.”
