Summary

  • Early 2027 is the target for The Internet’s fifth studio album, the group said in a Popcast interview, marking its first LP since 2018’s Hive Mind.
  • Four to five years of on-and-off work shaped the record, with Matt Martians saying the pandemic stalled progress and the album came together across scattered sessions.
  • Steve Lacy and Syd are producing beats, while Martians said he is building tracks around heavy sampling.
  • A new single could arrive once touring commitments end, as the members balance the group project with active solo careers.
