Watch Death Cab For Cutie play ‘Black Sun’ on Kimmel
New album ‘Kintsugi’ is out now.
On yesterday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Death Cab For Cutie played their ‘Black Sun’ track on the outdoor stage.
Their appearance coincided with a Rihanna April Fool’s prank on the talk show host, which saw her performing ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ at Kimmel’s own home, without invitation and first thing in the morning.
Death Cab’s performance went a little more to plan - they showcased the lead single from new album ‘Kintsugi’, just a couple of days on from its release on Atlantic.
