Interpol fans were relieved when word of a new album dropped last month, mainly due to the fact that the band hasn't released a record since 2010's self-titled LP. But now, they are gearing up to release El Pintor this coming September 8 internationally and September 9 in North America via Matador Records.
El Pintor – meaning "the painter" in Spanish – was recorded at the famed Electric Lady Studios and Atomic Sound in New York City, the band's hometown, and produced by Brooklyn-based producer James Brown, who has previously worked with the Arctic Monkeys and the Foo Fighters.
Take a peak at the new album's cover art at Pitchfork.
To celebrate the upcoming release of the record, and maybe just to give their fans a little taste, Interpol brought with their announcement a 3-minute behind-the-scenes look at the making of El Pintor.
