Product Description
Fully produced by Dave Fridmann! Interpol, the band that spearheaded the golden age of NY rock, has completed their first album in four years! Interpol, the charismatic NY band that spearheaded the golden age of rock and roll in the 2000s alongside bands like The Strokes, The National, Arcade Fire, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, has released their long-awaited sixth album, "Marauder," on MATADOR, four years after their previous album, "El Pintor" (2014). As a four-piece band consisting of Paul Banks (vocals), Daniel Kessler (guitar), Sam Fogarino (drums), and Carlos Dengler (bass), who sadly left the band in 2010, they made a striking debut in 2002 with "Turn on the Bright Lights." Their post-punk sound, often compared to Joy Division and Echo & the Bunnymen, and their stylish and cool worldview led to an immediate breakthrough. Their third album, "Our Love to Admire" (2007), finally reached number 2 on the UK charts and number 4 on the US charts, solidifying their place among the top bands in the UK and US. The band, which continues to evolve by trying new sonic approaches with each new release, has enlisted Dave Fridmann, producer of masterpieces such as The Flaming Lips' "At War with the Mystics," MGMT's "Oracular Spectacular," and Mogwai's "Come on Die Young," as producer for this album, and lead vocalist Paul has taken on bass for the first time. Paul's darkwave-tinged, decadent, and sentimental vocals, Sam's powerful, precise, and tight drumming, and Daniel's stylish guitar riffs are meticulously calculated to create a heavy, grand, and profound album that is being hailed as the band's greatest masterpiece to date. The Japanese CD release includes bonus tracks, lyric translations, and liner notes.
