Friday mp3: Interpol

Interpol formed in New York around 1998, and led by British-born duo vocalist Paul Banks and lead-guitarist Daniel Kessler, have gone on to be one of the biggest bands in America. After self-releasing several EP's between '98 and 2001, the band signed to indie label Matador Records.

Debut album Turn on the Bright Lights was released in 2002, their dark, post-punk style drawing comparisons to Joy Division and The Chameleons. To date it's sold almost a million copies and is certainly one of the best albums i've heard. Follow-up Antics was released two years later and featured hit singles 'Slow Hands' and 'Evil'. They moved to Capitol Records to release 2007's Our Love to Admire. A new LP is due next summer.

This track's from the debut, and is probably their best to date. That LP's well worth investigating.
