Interpol

Musical Group

Interpol are a New York rock band associated with the post-punk revival. Their 2002 debut Turn On the Bright Lights is widely praised; subsequent albums include Antics, Our Love to Admire, El Pintor and Marauder.

Core members discussed in the reviews are Paul Banks (vocals/guitar), Daniel Kessler (guitar), Sam Fogarino (drums) and Carlos Dengler (bassist/keyboardist). Reviews note Carlos Dengler's departure prior to El Pintor. The Marauder review cites producer Dave Fridmann as the record's producer and praises the analog recording approach.

DeBaser's reviews celebrate Interpol's acclaimed debut Turn On the Bright Lights and several consistently strong follow-ups. Reception across albums varies, with Antics and Our Love To Admire often praised and the self-titled record criticized in these pages. Later records El Pintor and Marauder are described as returns to form. Live reports emphasize tight, studio-like performances.

For:Fans of post-punk, indie rock listeners and readers of album and live reviews

 The story of Interpol is one of continuous attempts at rebirth, so far only partially successful or totally failed (in one case only, to be honest, that is the disastrous self-titled album from eight years ago).

 Make sure to have this album, and you’ll never part from it. It’s in a fight with Notwist for the best album of the year. A desert island album.

 "This album is everything 'Turn On The Bright Lights' would have been if we had the experience we have today," holy words from P.Banks.
