Watch Death Cab for Cutie's 'Stone Over Water' Video

09-17-2026

(PMPR) Death Cab for Cutie have release the official music video for "Stone Over Water," the latest single from their eleventh studio album, I Built You A Tower, out now on ANTI- Records.

"If you've ever had to try and convince yourself and everyone around you that you're ok when you are most definitely not, this song is for you," says the band on the song.

Directed and created by musician and animator Sean Solomon, the video brings a lightheartedness to that heaviness."I normally animate music videos for my own songs, but I found this song incredibly personal, even though it wasn't mine. I think everyone can relate to the little man in the video having a bad day. But I wanted the video to ultimately have a positive message even though it's sad. Everyone is going through something, and sometimes helping others can be a way to get out of our own heads and remember we're not alone."

Inspired by cartoonists who use visual gags, like Sergio Aragones's drawings in MAD Magazine, Solomon leaned into a slapstick, cartoon style as a playful juxtaposition to how heartbreaking the song actually is.
