Background and recording

[edit]

The album is being produced by a first time Interpol collaborator Andrew Wyatt with mixing by Dave Fridmann. The album was recorded in Wyatts studio, making this album the bands first return to recording in New York City in over a decade.[2] The album cover is a work by American artist Addie Wagenknecht currently part of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s permanent collection.[2] The naming of the title track is described as emerging from "Paul Banks’ improvisational vocal process, where melodies and phrases develop simultaneously. Themes of reflection, perception and emotional tension recur throughout the record".[2] The album will be the bands first on Partisan Records.[3]
