Following his 2014 departure from Death Cab for Cutie, Chris Walla will return with his solo album Tape Loops, due out October 16 via Trans Records. The first tune, “Kanta’s Theme,” is now streaming via Interview Magazine.

“I can’t change a closed, physical tape loop with a mouse-click or a keystroke, and that’s precisely the point,” Walla said in a press release. “Digital recording and editing often feels like working in a spreadsheet—it’s not always a place for dreams.”

Pre-orders are currently ongoing.
