Interpol put out their eighth album, This Mirror Weighs a Ton, in August on Partizan and spent 2026 touring with Loath, the New York band that defined 2002 indie rock, has been quietly building a bill out of the shoegaze and heavy end of the room for a year, and this is where that was going.

feeling set in this lane.

Yeah, I would be surprised if a new album was as extreme as this, but certainly Lonely People With Power was a very riffy, hard record at points.

It's really fucking good.

Yous have, like, five seconds maximum to pick which album you want to hear, okay? So let me just scroll back up a little bit 'cause there were some weird ones.

Atmospheric extreme metal, Deafheaven, Lonely People With Power versus Garia Los.

Birb?

What was the second album? Daddy Get Lost?

I love that tension.

So it's like a continuation of their evolving narrative.

Right.
