Holy transit metaphors, showgoers: less than a week after our last musings on the matter, Death Cab for Cutie have already expanded their forthcoming North American tour. Ben and the boys went and filled in quite a few gaps in their May/June plans (ha), which find them hitting stages all over the U.S. and Canada throughout the late spring.

Of course, the trip is no mere joyride: all this new activity comes in the wake of Atlantic's May 13 release of the band's sixth full-length, Narrow Stairs. Prep that hailin' finger and click "MORE" below to see just where you can catch this Cab.

And while you're down there, make a note of the date and then say hello to Ben Gibbard's new vibes-heavy "side project", Just Jazzin'. Watch Ben explain his Just Jazzin' muse below, and download the entire self-titled Just Jazzin' debut, featuring guest appearances by Spank Rock, Sufjan Stevens, CSS, Will Oldham, Ian Curtis, and Yanni, right here.
