Switchfoot Announce ‘interrobang (deluxe edition)’
The deluxe edition will feature the album’s 11 original tracks along with three b-sides, and two album track remixes.
GRAMMY Award-winning rock band Switchfoot have announced the July 8, 2022, release of an expanded, 16-track deluxe edition of their 2021 acclaimed album, interrobang.
To celebrate the news, the band has released a visualizer for the previously unreleased B-side, “youth of the young.”
Switchfoot’s interrobang (deluxe edition) will include the album’s 11 original tracks along with three b-sides, the aforementioned “youth of the young,” “interrobang,” and “the sound of holding breath.” The deluxe also features two recently released album track remixes, “i need you (to be wrong),” remixed by the indie-pop group lovelytheband and “wolves,” remixed by indie-rock band, Sir Sly.
“The making of interrobang, written and recorded during the chaotic uncertainty of 2020, was an experience unlike any that we’ve ever had as a band,” Switchfoot said in a collective statement. “To say that there was a lot to write about would be a laughable understatement. But hard times are often the most inspiring ones, and the making of interrobang was certainly a season of growth and creativity for us as band, yielding a large collection of songs — too many for one album. Or maybe not. interrobang (deluxe) is our chance to include some of our favorite b-sides from the album, and also a couple remixes from friends. We’re so proud of these tunes, and we hope you dig them too.”
Commenting on the new single, “youth of the young,” Switchfoot’s Jon Foreman stated, “The difference between what you want and what you need is a line you never choose to find. The very path that could save us from ourselves is hidden from our eyes. We simply can’t see what we can’t see. Our postmodern dilemma our own creation, a crisis of our own devises.”
Produced by Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Paul McCartney, Andrew Bird) and mixed by Tchad Blake (Fiona Apple, Arctic Monkeys, Sheryl Crow) Switchfoot’s 12th studio album, interrobang has been featured by Vulture, Stereogum, and Under The Radar who asserted, “A series of nuanced and deeply musical arrangements show that this band once known as punk-infused surf-rockers have matured into something more vital.”
