First New Album In 17 Years Out Today

Touring Australia In September

“in•ter a•li•a resumes precisely where At the Drive In paused after its 2000 album, Relationship of Command. It’s fast, complicated and tuneful over a turbulent foundation, forceful but also familiar… A sense of catastrophe collides with a blast of resistance. It’s the sound of a band very deliberately reclaiming a style its fans had missed.” – THE NEW YORK TIMES

“As far as comeback albums go, in ter a li a is about as good as it gets” – 4.5/5, Q Magazine 

” in • ter a • li • a is better than anyone had a right to expect . . .” – 4/5, Rolling Stone Magazine

“Int⋅er al⋅i⋅a is the most balanced album that’s come along in ages; there really is something for absolutely everyone on this LP, guaranteed. Bring on September!” – Hysteria Mag 

“Each passing year will bring just as many break-ups as it will reunions like these. Bands come and go. Some last, some don’t, and some just want a second chance. If you’re willing to give that chance to a band like At the Drive-In, in • ter a • li • a will reward you greatly.” – Music Feeds

“…At The Drive In’s comeback album continues and maintains their legacy as one of the most significant bands of our time.”  – Kill Your Stereo

“A visionary album of unhinged aggression.” – themusic.com.au

“Ever wish you could get the chance to rediscover a band all over again? Seventeen years after the genre defining Relationship Of Command, erratic Texans At The Drive-In have returned slicker, poignant and more focused than ever.” – Stack Magazine

“… it feels like they’ve barely skipped a beat.” – Australian Guitar Magazine

Pitting spacey phaser and thrash-y riffing against a sidewinder hook and siren wail, Incurably Innocent, described by vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala as “a song about sexual abuse and being able to finally speak out,” reveals additional facets of the kaleidoscopic in • ter a • li • a.
