Interpol (Official Thread) Band

Hey I like this band and there's no thread for this band so here's a thread for this band.

 

Paul Banks had an album with RZA?

 

Fantastic band. How did they not have a thread?!

 

i love turn on the bright lights even though some of the lyrics are uhh...not great

 

TOtBL is a classic by now, their best album and an immense record

but

OLtA is my favorite

really love them

everything they’ve done is great IMO, even the s/t that gets a lot f shit

el Pintor es their weakest imo - still ok

saw them a the Bowery Ballroom play TOtBL and it was sick

 

I love all their records but I definitely think their self titled is for sure their weakest.

I would say Our Love To Admire is my absolute favorite of theirs.

 

They're playing a free House of Vans show later this summer. Will try very hard to get an RSVP

 

The Pitchfork Guide to New Albums: Summer 2018 | Pitchfork

so apparently new record in august

 

cool, cool

I wonder if this band continues to have any fans haha

 

Damn, I’m excited to hear what Marauder sounds like.

 

Yeah, S/T has a few cool songs, namely Lights, but that record has so much filler on it. Plus, Carlos pretty much hit the eject button right after it was recorded and you can just hear how apathetic he was listening to his playing.

 

Oh totally. He was on auto-pilot during the recording and it shows.

 

I'm a little confused - I don't see any mention of Interpol in that article... I am still a big fan of these guys. I love all of their albums except for the self-titled, and even that one I like a few of the songs. I thought El Pintor from a couple of years ago was fantastic, and it had some great b-sides, my favorite being The Depths. Very excited to hear a new album from them if there is one coming out.

 

Yeah I didn’t see it in the article either but the guys confirmed there is a record coming this year.

 

p4k prob deleted it when they realized they fucked up

 

yeah, that happened with stereogum and titus as well, they "announced" the titus album like two weeks before the band did, all the info was the same though

they probably thought the news would be out by now and forgot to edit

 

New song

 

I love that they surprised us with a totally new song. I really hope it's part of an EP with 'Real Life' on it too.

 

This is great! Why was it left off Marauder?

 

Saw them tonight and it was kinda miserable

 

why

 

Yeah, why was it miserable...???

I've only seen them once several years ago but they were great live.

 

Car Seat Headrest and Snail Mail played three or four song sets. They were given no time at all. Interpol felt lifeless. It just felt so underwhelming. I left half way through out of pure boredom.

 

3 or 4 song sets? That's crazy.

 

Wow. That is awful. I'm sorry that happened to you. I would not have guessed that's how it would have gone.
