In his review of the comeback record, Consequence of Sound writer Ryan Bray said in • ter a • li • a introduces fans to “an older and wiser incarnation of At The Drive-In.” “Nearly two decades after lighting the world on fire, [Cedric] Bixler-Zavala and [Omar] Rodriguez-Lopez sound like they’ve found a healthy balance they once sorely lacked under this moniker. With in•ter a•li•a, they not only prove that they can still be one of the most interesting and complex bands in the land, but that they don’t have to tear themselves apart to do it, either.”
Featuring production from ATDI’s own Omar Rodriguez-Lopez alongside Rich Costey (Muse, Franz Ferdinand), the 11-track effort was recorded at Hollywood’s Sound Factory. It was previewed with a bevy of singles: “Governed By Contagions”, “Incurably Innocent”, “Hostage Stamps”, and “Pendulum in a Peasant Dress”. Take a listen to the entire thing below via Apple Music.
