“interrobang is an album born from the tension of our times. - Switchfoot’s Jon Foreman

TORONTO, ON — August 20, 2021 — Today, GRAMMY Award-winning San Diego alt rock quintet, Switchfoot, releases their anticipated new album, interrobang, via Fantasy Records. The Tony Berg-produced (Phoebe Bridgers, Paul McCartney, Andrew Bird) and Tchad Blake-mixed (Fiona Apple, Arctic Monkeys, Sheryl Crow) record serves as the band’s 12^th full-length album release and follows 2019’s Native Tongue. Also out today is the music video for focus track, lost ‘cause. Watch the video here and listen to/purchase interrobang here.

Featuring 11 original tracks, interrobang includes previously released tracks, i need you (to be wrong), fluorescent and the bones of us. Straying from their typical rock sound, the new album opts for a raw 60’s era pop-infused feel, influenced by working with producer Tony Berg. Penned through the pandemic, interrobang is an album that celebrates the journey when the destination is unsure. It illustrates the contrast between joy and pain, faith, and doubt, and marks a bold new creative peak for the multi-platinum rockers. Named after the punctuation symbol used to capture the intentions of both a question mark and an exclamation point, ‘interrobang’ is a juxtaposition of inquiry and passion, confusion, and urgency.

“We find the title to be the perfect punctuation for the year that we’ve had: a question mark on top of an exclamation mark. Two disagreeing symbols juxtaposed on top of each other,” said Switchfoot frontman and songwriter, Jon Foreman. “This symbol sums up the past two years. Political tension, racial tension, economic disparity, a worldwide pandemic, and underneath it all, you and me: interrobang‽”

Accompanying today’s album release is the music video for lost ‘cause. Filmed in the back of a tractor-trailer, the band offers an impassioned performance of the track, featuring projections of a bird’s-eye aerial timelapse of nighttime traffic as well as clips of swirling colourful hues.

To celebrate the release of interrobang, Switchfoot will perform the album in its entirety today via livestream. The livestream will begin at 5:00 p.m. PT. Tickets for Switchfoot’s interrobang livestream are available now here.

On Tuesday, August 24, Switchfoot will perform songs from interrobang and speak about the album with producer, Tony Berg, in-person at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles, CA. Music industry legend, Matt Pinfield, will moderate the audience Q&A. Tickets for Switchfoot’s GRAMMY Museum show are available for purchase now here.

On September 7, Switchfoot will embark on a 38 date United States tour with longtime friends NEEDTOBREATHE’s Into The Mystery tour, to support interrobang. Tickets for Switchfoot and NEEDTOBREATHE’s Into The Mystery Tour are available now at switchfoot.com/pages/tour.
