On January 12, 2015, the band officially announced the album, titled "Kintsugi", which was released on March 31, 2015. "Kintsugi" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. The band toured "Kintsugi" across the world through September 2016, with new touring members Dave Depper (guitar/keyboards/backing vocals) and Zac Rae (keyboards/guitar) replacing Walla. The album was the first since Gibbard's highly publicized divorce from actress Zooey Deschanel, which is believed to have been a major influence on several of the album's songs.
