Interpol’s new album turns to surveillance and AI
France 24’s arts24 programme interviewed founding member and lead guitarist Daniel Kessler about the band’s eighth album, This Mirror Weighs a Ton.
Interpol’s eighth album, This Mirror Weighs a Ton, is framed by France 24’s arts24 programme as a reflection on contemporary concerns, including surveillance and the rise of artificial intelligence.
The programme, published on 29 September, features an interview by Jennifer Ben Brahim with Daniel Kessler, the New York band’s founding member and lead guitarist.
Interpol first drew attention with Turn on the Bright Lights, whose icy atmosphere and distinctive guitar lines helped establish the band’s sound. The group has been active for nearly three decades, according to France 24.
The supplied material does not include Kessler’s specific comments on the album’s themes or explain how the record addresses surveillance and AI. It also gives no release date or reception details.
