Interpol

This Mirror Weighs a Ton is the eighth studio album by New York post-punk legends Interpol, and their debut release for Partisan Records. Out August 28, 2026, it follows 2022's The Other Side of Make-Believe and marks the band's most expansive sonic statement yet. Produced by Andrew Wyatt (Rosalía, Charli XCX) and mixed by David Fridmann (MGMT, Sleater-Kinney), the album was recorded in Manhattan's Lower East Side — the first time Interpol have cut a record in their hometown in over a decade. Themes of reflection, perception, and emotional tension run through the record, with the album title emerging directly from singer Paul Banks' improvisational vocal process. Alongside their signature guitar-forward sound, the album features an expanded palette including woodwinds, layered vocal harmonies, acoustic guitar, and experimental sound design.
