Interpol Announce First Album in Four Years, “This Mirror Weighs a Ton”

By: Staff –

Interpol today announce their new album This Mirror Weighs a Ton, their first in four years and debut for Partisan Records, arriving August 28. Alongside the announcement, the band share the two opening tracks, the title track and “See Out Loud.” Listen below.

Produced by Andrew Wyatt (ROSALÍA, Charli xcx) and mixed by David Fridmann (Sleater-Kinney, MGMT), This Mirror Weighs a Ton expands Interpol’s sonic palette with the addition of strings, woodwinds, layered vocal harmonies, acoustic guitar and experimental sound design while maintaining the band’s signature rhythmic and melodic approach. The album was recorded at Wyatt’s studio on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, marking the band’s first time making a record in their original home base in over a decade. 

The album’s title emerged from Paul Banks’ improvisational vocal process, where melodies and phrases develop simultaneously. Themes of reflection, perception and emotional tension recur throughout the record, and the artwork features a work by Addie Wagenknecht currently held in the Whitney Museum of American Art’s permanent collection.

Next month, the band will begin a 23-date North American headline tour. Tickets are on sale now via www.interpolnyc.com/tour-dates. 

Stops include a hometown festival appearance at CBGB Festival Under the K Bridge in Brooklyn, The Bowl at Sobeys Stadium in Toronto, The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park in San Diego and The Salt Shed Fairgrounds in Chicago. Select dates will feature support from Youth Lagoon, Loathe, julie, DIIV and French Police, with the band also set to support SOMBR in Vancouver.
