Interpol Announce First Album In Four Years And Share Two New Singles ‘See Out Loud’ And ‘This Mirror Weighs A Ton

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, This Mirror Weighs a Ton, and See Out Loud.

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.

This Mirror Weighs a Ton + See Out Loud offer a study in duality, with Interpol stretching the edges of their identity without losing the pulse that made them essential. The title track unfolds like a slow revelation, all warped bass, tidal motion, ghostly vocal textures and immersive sound design, bending the band’s familiar language into something subtly alien and expansive. See Out Loud strikes with taut rhythms, serrated guitars and the nocturnal charge etched into Interpol’s DNA, sharpened by layered harmonies, shifting perspectives and a rare vocal turn from Daniel Kessler (his first since Turn On The Bright LightsPDA).
