At The Drive In has been reunited since January 2016, and has been promising that new music is absolutely coming. The band has now announced its first new album in 17 years, titled in·ter a·li·a, and has premiered a brand new song titled "Incurably Innocent." It's a short, sweet track that's catchy as hell and really doesn't sound like it's coming from a band that hasn't put out new material in such a long time.
Cedric Bixler-Zavala says the song is about speaking out about sexual abuse, and talks about the new album in an interview with NME.
“We’d get up as early as we could and would go and do what I call ‘beating your head against the wall’. That was really hitting the ground running with figuring out how to learn to write with each other. We did that for a good chunk of time. In that monstrous heat, we would drive to that studio and go a little crazy. It wasn’t a very glamorous studio, it was bare bones. You just had to be forced to not fuck around, and not sit around and play video games like maybe some people do.”
Pre-order the new album here before its May 5 release date. It's also worth noting that this will be the band's first album without guitarist Jim Ward, and with ex-Sparta guitarist Keeley Davis.
