Interpol have announced their sixth studio album, Marauder. Set for an August 24th release via Matador Records, the LP follows 2014’s El Pintor.

The band revealed the news via a live-streamed press conference held in Mexico City. Marauder marks the first time they’ve worked with “an unfamiliar producer,” in this case Dave Fridmann (Spoon, The Flaming Lips), whom they recorded with in upstate New York. Described as “multi-layered and bold,” the album is “an adventurous departure in sound, with a heavy focus on lyrics and capturing their live energy.” You can hear that in the lead single, “The Rover”, a driving and relentless bit of post-punk revivalism.
