‘Toni’ is thought to be from Interpol’s upcoming seventh studio album – the follow-up to 2018’s acclaumed ‘Marauder’ and 2019 EP ‘A Fine Mess’ – which they recorded with producers Flood & Moulder at Battery Studio in London.
Talking about the new material last year, frontman Paul Banks revealed that the group had been finished recording the album at a “very vibey, very English” studio in North London.
“It definitely feels like us,” Banks explained of the new material. “It’s the heart and soul of our band – like, there’s a DNA to our sound. Another part of me thinks, ‘This might be super fucking different’.”
He added: “A few of the songs in particular have really unabashedly positive sentiments. Something that feels good is the aspiration.”
This spring, the band will embark on their first tour in two years, with dates across the US, UK, and EU.
Last week, the Manhattan band announced a co-headlined coast-to-coast North American tour with Spoon called ‘Lights, Camera, Factions’. Tickets will be available here.
