With Death Cab for Cutie's Codes and Keys coming out later this month, the long-running indie rock troupe have revealed yet another new video. This time it's for album track "Home Is a Fire."

The clip was made in collaboration with renowned artists Shepard Fairey (Obey) and Nicholas Harmer. Speaking to Boing Boing, Fairey said of the video's concept, "The city can be an impersonal place, imposing, simultaneously anonymous and claustrophobic. However, there are opportunities for us to affect the city (and life) experience rather than accepting things as passive voyeurs."

You can read more about the concept here and watch the clip below.

As for Codes and Keys, you can get set for that to drop on May 31 via Atlantic.
