Interpol has announced their eighth studio album, This Mirror Weighs a Ton, set for release on August 28. The album will mark the band's debut release with Partisan Records.
The 12-track record is a follow-up to 2022's The Other Side of Make-Believe. The album sees Interpol "expand their sonic palette with the addition of strings, woodwinds, layered vocal harmonies, acoustic guitar, and experimental sound design," according to a press release.
"I was right next to Andrew when he started doing these incredible things with the sound design, and it was just so exciting. I remember thinking, I don't have context for what kind of music this is — these big crashes happening before Paul even had a vocal. Logic would have said maybe this is an instrumental. Then Paul just got up, went into the back room and started singing those melodies — and suddenly it was clearly not going to be," guitarist Daniel Kessler says about the album.
The announcement is accompanied by the title track and "See Out Loud," which features vocals from Kessler, in his first turn on the mic since "PDA" from Turn on the Bright Lights.
