AT THE DRIVE IN will release its first album in seven years, "Inter Alia" (Latin for "among other things"), on May 5 via Rise Records.

Produced by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Rich Costey at Hollywood's Sound Factory, the 11-song 41-minute effort a picks up where 2000's "Relationship Of Command" left off… and rockets off into myriad other trajectories as unpredictable as they are intense.
