\n\tThe music sounds serene with spongy guitar and angelic backing vocals when Interpol<\/a> frontman Paul Banks sings, \u201cThis mirror weighs a ton, but at least we act sudden\u201d with staccato conviction. That turn of phrase, which gives both the band\u2019s eighth album and lead track its title, This Mirror Weighs a Ton<\/em>, frankly doesn\u2019t make a whole lot of sense, and that\u2019s sort of the point since Banks came up with it while improvising the melodies and vocals simultaneously. It\u2019s highly refined automatic writing, and the band said it sets up the rest of the album, due out Aug. 28. They also released another song from the record, \u201cSee Out Loud,\u201d which features similarly opaque lyrics but a heavier beat, a little more guitar, and a feel that\u2019s all the more \u201cInterpol.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe group cut the album with producer Andrew Wyatt (Rosal\u00eda, Charli XCX) at Wyatt\u2019s Manhattan studio, marking the first time in more than a decade that Interpol have recorded at the city they call home. They said they augmented their sound this time with strings, woodwinds, acoustic guitar, and more textured vocal harmonies. \u201cSee Out Loud\u201d also features the first time guitarist Daniel Kessler has contributed vocals since Turn on the Bright Lights<\/em>\u2018 \u201cPDA.\u201d<\/p>\n
