A second-rack bagel that's nearly first-rack. Tasty stuff.
Summary
Interpol has announced their eighth album, 'This Mirror Weighs a Ton,' due out August 28, and released two new songs from it. The title track's lyrics came from frontman Paul Banks improvising melodies and vocals simultaneously, resulting in a phrase that doesn't have a clear literal meaning but represents a refined form of automatic writing. The band says the song sets up the rest of the album.
