Interpol are back. This Mirror Weighs a Ton is coming on August 28 via the band’s new label home of Partisan. The title track and “See Out Loud” accompany the announcement. Check those out below, and scroll down for the tracklist and Addie Wagenknecht’s artwork.

“See Out Loud” features vocals from guitarist Daniel Kessler—his first turn on the mic since “PDA” from Turn on the Bright Lights. Andrew Wyatt produced the new album—the band’s first since 2022’s The Other Side of Make-Believe—at his Manhattan studio, with mixing by David Fridmann. Interpol will support the release with a big North American tour at the end of July.

Kessler says of the title song in press materials, “I was right next to Andrew [Wyatt] 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.”
