Interpol Hold Press Conference in Mexico City to Announce New Album Marauder for August 2018 Release

Interpol recently held live-streamed a press conference for their upcoming sixth album, Marauder, which releases on August 24th. The press conference, held from Mexico City, was a chance for Interpol to give fans exclusive details about the album and its making-of.  Check out the fully recorded press conference:

Marauder’s first single, “The Rover,” will be performed live on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on June 8. The song is available for listeners below.

About, the album, band member Paul Banks said, “Marauder is a facet of myself. That’s the guy that fucks up friendships and does crazy shit. He taught me a lot, but it’s representative of a persona that’s best left in song,” said Banks. “In a way, this album is like giving him a name and putting him to bed.” The album art and tracklist are below.

Marauder:

01 If You Really Love Nothing
02 The Rover
03 Complications
04 Flight of Fancy
05 Stay in Touch
06 Interlude 1
07 Mountain Child
08 NYSMAW
09 Surveillance
10 Number 10
11 Party’s Over
12 Interlude 2
13 It Probably Matters
