Interpol has new music in the works.

The "Evil" band says in an Instagram post, "We are pleased to announce that we have new music coming soon!"

"We are very excited about it and look forward to sharing it with you," the post adds.

Interpol has also announced a new fill-in drummer for Sam Fogarino, who's been absent from the band's live lineup since undergoing cervical spine surgery in 2023. Urian Hackney, who's played with Iggy Pop and The Armed, will man the kit for Interpol's upcoming tour, which launches Saturday in Miami.

"Look him up," Interpol says of Hackney. "He's amazing."

Interpol adds that Fogarino plays on and co-wrote their upcoming album, but is "still not available to join us on tour for the time being."

The most recent Interpol album is 2022's The Other Side of Make-Believe.
