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.

Interpol have shared “Iron City,” the latest single from their forthcoming album This Mirror Weighs a Ton, out August 28 via Partisan Records.

The track follows “This Mirror Weighs a Ton” and “See Out Loud,” offering another preview of the New York band’s eighth studio album and their first full-length since 2022’s The Other Side of Make-Believe. The new single keeps the band’s familiar hazy and dreamy post-punk tension intact while pointing toward the expanded production and darker atmosphere surrounding the upcoming record.

This Mirror Weighs a Ton was produced by Andrew Wyatt and mixed by David Fridmann, with the band recording in Manhattan for the first time in more than a decade. Listen to “Iron City” below.
