Interpol Release New Album This Mirror Weighs a Ton

Interpol have released their eighth studio album, This Mirror Weighs a Ton, out today via Partisan Records.

It may be their best work since Our Love to Admire. Across twelve tracks, Interpol tap into nearly every side of what has made them so enduring — from ethereal, hazy new wave and post-punk atmospheres to driving, rhythmic songs pushed forward by tense guitars and bass-heavy momentum. There are plenty of familiar shadows here, but the record feels focused rather than nostalgic, with Andrew Wyatt's production adding extra space, texture and subtle orchestral touches around the band's unmistakable core sound.

For longtime fans, This Mirror Weighs a Ton feels like one of those records that gathers the best parts of Interpol into one place without simply retracing old ground.
