Their setlists had all been hits and fan favourites until last night (Thursday March 19) when the band played Audio at São Paulo in Brazil and slipped in new song ‘See Out Loud’ midway through the gig. Advertisement The song leans into the more pulsing and rhythmic vibe of their albums ‘Antics’ and ‘El Pintor’. While frontman Paul Banks takes the lead, guitarist Daniel Kessler lends a rare vocal over a synthy interlude before a rock crescendo, and the new song seems to reflect what the band told NME about new material, after frontman Paul Banks shared with us that their next record was sounding “quite high energy”. View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram   “[It’s] pretty great, to be honest with you,” Banks told NME back in 2024. “I’m pretty pumped about the stuff that we have worked on so far. That’s all I can really say: it’s an enthusiastic ‘yes’. It’s pretty cool. With this [next] record, we’re getting back to writing together in a room and my favourite tracks so far are quite high energy.” Recommended Then, last July, guitarist Daniel Kessler told us to expect “some upbeat tracks, but also some different atmospherics that I don’t think we’ve had before”. “There are different moods,” he continued. “It’s not all rock; some of it is more upbeat in a different kind of way to what people might think of Interpol. It’s been a really fun process.” View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram Advertisement This marks Interpol’s first new material since 2022’s acclaimed seventh album ‘The Other Side of Make-Believe’. The band, led by a newly bleached-blonde Banks, are currently touring with The Armed’s Chris Broome on drums. Drummer Sam Fogarino, who joined the New York City band in 2000, underwent spinal surgery in 2023 and stepped back from touring. They have however confirmed that Fogarino co-wrote and performed on the new album that was “coming soon”.   After Interpol wrap up their South American dates with a set during Coachella’s second weekend – find tickets to those shows here – they’ll head to Australia and New Zealand in May to support Deftones.
