Welcome back spring, welcome back to the SubModern Report, and welcome back to Death Cab For Cutie! The indie darlings have just announced their eleventh record I Built You A Tower, coming June 5th on their new label ANTI- Records. The first single "Riptides" makes its debut at #1 this week. Over on the album chart, the War Child compilation HELP(2) lands on top for the third week in a row, but this time it's tied with the forthcoming Cost of Living Adjustment from Montreal's Cola. So congrats to all three of this week's #1's.

Coming right on Death Cab's heels at #2 is the new track "House of I" by The Afghan Whigs, celebrating their 40th anniversary! Australia's Pond are at #3 with "Terrestrials" followed at #4 by "Conflagration Mindset", the new single from the aformentioned #1 Cola album. There's a three-way tie at #5 that includes Radiohead's Ed O'Brien with "Blue Morpho", They Might Be Giants with "Outside Brain", and Widowspeak with "If You Change". "I Just Can't Get Over Losing You" by The Lemon Twigs takes the #8 spot, and closing out the top ten, there's a tie at #9 between between "Alma" by Deary and "Witching Hour" by Witch Post.

Some of the same artists show up on the album chart, starting with They Might Be Giants, whose upcoming The World Is To Dig is #3. Also Witch Post's new Butterfly EP is tied at #4 along with Weird Nightmare's Hoopla. Another tie at #6 is between Remember The Humans from Broken Social Scene and Little Sticky Pictures from Girl Group. Finally three albums share the #8 spot, to finish out the top ten. Those are Anna Calvi's guest-filled Is This All There Is? EP, Avalon Emerson & The Charm's Written Into Changes, and The Claypool Lennon Delirium's The Great Parrot-Ox and The Golden Egg of Empathy.

As always, we flesh things out to the top twenty-five of each chart HERE. We also have our comprehensive Available For Airplay list, taking a look at what's coming your way for the next week of new music shows.
