Andrew Virrueta comments, “We present to you our newest song, ‘Sanctum’! We’re extremely excited about having this song finally out. It is a step in a heavier direction, as well as a more progressive direction. We hope you love it! Thanks so much for sticking around with our ever-evolving music. We are always trying to push the boundaries with what is conventional, and we feel this song really showcases the full spectrum of what we are capable of. “

The focus of this one was to embrace a minimalist approach and force ourselves to be creative with dynamics without losing focus of the song. We hope you love it and look forward to playing it on an upcoming tour this fall!”

Miles Baker comments, “I am thrilled to have “Search Party” out in its entirety. It has been a long time coming and I can’t thank the fans enough (old and new) for sticking with us and digging what we are doing. It has been a lot of hard work making it to release day and I couldn’t be more proud of all the time, effort, energy, and emotion that the guys and myself put into “Search Party”! I hope you all enjoy our first full-length record as much as we do.”
Aaron Stechauner states, “We made it! Thank you to all of our fans who have been patiently waiting upwards of half a decade for us to pull ourselves together and finally make a record! We hope every one of you, as well as every new listener to Interloper, thoroughly enjoys what we have to offer from our debut LP. In the words of Dave Grohl, “Done, done, on to the next one.”

Miles Dimitri Baker comments, “I am so stoked to have ‘Idle Years’ out into the world. This is one of my favorite tracks off the record and I not only love the song musically but lyrically as well. It has a really special meaning to me and I feel it represents a lot of things that I have gone through in my life. I hope the listeners can relate to it the way I do and I hope they enjoy it as much as I do.”
Andrew Virruelta states, “This one gives me a feeling of solitude and nostalgia. I really enjoy this song because of that. Puts me in a specific place in my mind. Hope you love it!”
“To me, ‘Idle Years’ rounds out our three singles,” comments Aaron Stechauner.“In so many words, ‘Drift’ is our heavy hitter, ‘Search Party’ showcases our melodic nature, and ‘Idle Years’ represents the dreary, driving, and reflective aspect of the album. These songs give our listeners a sense of what to anticipate from the record itself… not without a few left turns of course.”

Miles Dimitri Baker comments, “I am thrilled to have the title track for our record out! I feel it’s an amazing song to follow up the first single off this record. I think it does a great job of showing some of the diversity song to song that you can expect to hear on this record. ‘Search Party’ is one of my favorites on the record. I feel that the structure, melodies, and progressions in this tune were so beautifully done. I hope you all enjoy the title track off of our record Search Party as much as we do!”
Aaron Stechauner states, “This is my favorite INTERLOPER song, and really my favorite song I’ve ever been involved with. I actually think it’s the best one on the album, alongside its sister song ‘Cheshire’. When I listen to this song it doesn’t even feel like I’m listening to my own band… it feels like I’m listening to a song that one of my favorite bands wrote. One of those legend bands like OPETH or GOJIRA or MESHUGGAH. Not from a sound sense, more so from an emotional place. It’s kind of surreal to call it my own. That probably sounds a little dramatic or maybe even a bit pretentious, but it is a genuine feeling. I’m pretty anxious to see what people think about it because I probably care about people loving it as much as I do more than any other song.”
Andrew Virrueta comments, “This song is one of my favorites off of the record. In my opinion, it’s one of the tightest songs compositionally and this song, I think, sets the stage for the rest of the songs following its completion. ‘Search Party’ definitely sets a benchmark for me to meet throughout the rest of the album’s writing process. I hope you all fall in love with this song like we did!”

Progressive heavy metal vehicle, INTERLOPER have returned to present their debut, full length album “Search Party” which will be released on June 11th via Nuclear Blast Records. Today, the band offer fans the music video for the first single, ‘Drift’. Check out the video directed by Nichole Kephart, here:
Miles Dimitri Baker comments “I am so excited to be announcing our first record titled “Search Party”. These are songs that we are so proud of and they make up a collective work that we couldn’t be happier with. I feel like this is the true start of the band and accurately represents our current sound and headspace for writing music. The first single, ‘Drift,’ is one of my personal favorites on the record and I feel so good about the songwriting, balance, and conviction that this track has. It’s a heavy one, has some infectious melodies, and really covers quite a bit of musical ground in one song. I can’t wait for the rest of the singles and then the entire record to come out so people can hear the amount of dynamic and diversity we have on this record. It has been a long time coming, we poured our hearts into it, and I think that’s really going to show on the record. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!“
Aaron Stechauner states, “In terms of what song to give you all as an introduction to “Search Party” as an album, this first single, ‘Drift,’ is a very cheeky choice. While it does tie together who we are and what we are trying to say, I don’t think it will leave anyone going ‘yeah, this is what I expected to get from the album after hearing Drift.’ It tells you what we are capable of giving you, without giving away at all what we actually are about to give you.What a blessing it is that this album [“Search Party”] is finally getting to see the light of day, one blind at a time. In ways both related to as well as entirely separate from the band, this album represents turning one last page and finally entering a new chapter.“
Andrew Virrueta comments, “Were so overjoyed to show you all what have been working on over the past couple of years. These songs all individually represent a unique and distinct time in our musical explorations, interpersonal relationships, and abilities as musicians; individually, and as a cohesive group. There’s nothing quite as satisfying to me as seeing them all displayed on a record together in one presentation. We hope you enjoy every song on this album as much as we do, as there is something different and special to offer from song to song. Sincerest thanks to our fans, friends, and families for being right here with us every step of the way.“
