Release Notes:
SUPPORT LATEST LAME !!
One of the leading post-punk revivalists of the 2000s and 2010s, Interpol took
their cues from Joy Division and the Chameleons, fashioning a darkly atmospheric
sound helmed by intricate guitars and Paul Banks' somber baritone. The group
also had a striking visual presence marked by the members' fondness for suits,
which only strengthened their stately, British-influenced appeal. Nevertheless,
the band remained rooted in America, where guitarist Daniel Kessler and drummer
Greg Drudy first struck up a musical partnership while attending New York
University. Carlos Dengler, another NYU student who had previously played
guitar, joined as the group's bassist -- and by sheer coincidence, Kessler later
bumped into Banks, a guitarist/vocalist whom Kessler had spent time with in
France. Having settled on an initial lineup, Interpol became a fully active band
in 1998 and began issuing a series of eight-track recordings. After the band's
first gigs in early 2000, Drudy vacated his position and was replaced by drummer
Sam Fogarino.
Regular appearances at New York venues like Brownie's and the Mercury Lounge
helped endear Interpol to local audiences. Meanwhile, a brief U.K. tour in April
2001 was punctuated by a radio session for John Peel's BBC program, which
expanded the band's audience overseas. The year 2001 also saw the band releasing
its third EP, Precipitate, and appearing on the compilation album This Is Next
Year, a double-disc set of Brooklyn-area acts. Matador Records signed the band
in early 2002; by the end of the year, the independent label had issued both a
three-song single and the band's debut LP, Turn on the Bright Lights. The album
turned Interpol into a successful indie rock act, providing further proof that
New York City had become a hub of marketable post-punk revivalism in the early
21st century.
Extensive touring followed, including international dates and television
appearances. The band also opened for the Cure as part of that band's Curiosa
Festival; soon after, Interpol released their second album, 2004's Antics. Three
songs entered the Top 40 charts in the U.K., where the record later went gold.
Following a major-label upgrade to the roster of Capitol Records, Interpol
returned in 2007 with Our Love to Admire. Along with their Interpol duties, the
band's members kept busy with other projects: Fogarino joined forces with
Swervedriver's Adam Franklin as the Setting Suns (who later changed their name
to Magnetic Morning), while Banks embarked on a solo career as Julian Plenti,
releasing the 2009 album Julian Plenti Is Skyscraper. Dengler ventured into
writing film scores. The bandmembers began recording their fourth album in early
2009, and in spring 2010, it was announced that Dengler was leaving Interpol;
around that time, the band self-released the single "Lights." Dave Pajo was
announced as the touring bassist for the group's shows with U2 in Europe that
summer.
Interpol, which marked the band's return to Matador, arrived in September 2010.
Following the tour for that album, the bandmembers announced an extended hiatus
to "refresh" as well as to concentrate on their solo projects. These included
Banks' solo material under the Julian Plenti moniker (2012's Julian Plenti
Lives... EP) and his own name (his second album Banks, also from 2012), and
Fogarino's EmptyMansions project, a collaboration with the Jesus Lizard's Duane
Denison that issued 2013's snakes/vulture/sulfate. For 2014's back-to-basics
fifth album, El Pintor (an anagram of Interpol), frontman Banks took over bass
duties while touring member Brandon Curtis played keyboards.
