Back in 2013, Interpol's Paul Banks and Wu Tang Clan's RZA revealed that they were making a record together. Now, the project has a name: Banks and Steelz. Tomorrow, Zane Lowe will premiere their first track on his Beats 1 Radio show. Lowe also announced that the project has an installation up in Los Angeles on Fairfax Avenue. (There is also one up on Orchard Street in New York.)

In an interview with Rolling Stone last year, RZA explained how the project came together. "My manager came to me and said, 'Who do you want to do an album with?' I said, 'Well, Paul just has an energy about him. I think if we put our sandwich together it will be great. Me and Paul, we play chess together and just hang out. We went to the studio and we started writing songs and they sound very, very different than what I do, but very unique and very peculiar."
