Interpol To Release New Album Later This Year

New York indie rock band Interpol have confirmed their first album in four years and a UK tour.

The new release will be the follow-up to 2010's "Interpol" and the group's first studio album without bassist Carlos Dengler. 

"We currently find ourselves in the UK finishing the new album so it feels only appropriate to announce our first UK dates of 2014 from here," guitarist Daniel Kessler said.

"We’re pleased to say that we’ll be headlining this year’s NME Awards Tour.  We had a great time playing the Awards Tour in 2003 and we’re very much looking forward to our return.  It should be a lot of fun.  The UK crowds are among the best!" He added.

Interpol will headline the NME Awards tour during March, alongside Temples, Royal Blood and Circa Waves. Check out the full dates below.
