After four years of hiatus, Interpol strikes back with new album, which
for sure is much better than previous ‘Interpol’. It must have been refreshing
to them, when band members focused on personal projects. Vocalist Paul Banks
and drummer Sam Fogarino worked on solo projects, while guitarist Daniel
Kessler opened restaurant in the New York City.
Unlike previous records ‘El Pintor ‘ was recorded by trio, because
bassist Carlos Dengler left the band in 2010. His duties in studio were taken
by Paul Banks and he filled the hole with proper playing. On this record there
are more tremolos, which were significantly present on previous records,
luckily making album sound more like band’s first two successful albums ‘Turn
on the Bright Lights’ and ‘Antics’.
As always Paul Banks didn’t invite anyone inside of his head so the
background behind lyrics remains unknown but title ‘El Pintor’, which means
painter in Spanish may suggest that they are personal, as vocalist is fluent
also in this form of art.
From dynamic choruses of ‘All the Rage Back Home’ opening to the ballad
‘Twice As Hard’ at the ending ‘El Pintor’ keeps the standard, allowing Interpol
to come closer to what they lost some time ago and although they music might be
depressive, their future looks rather optimistic.
Below you can listen to 'All the Rage Back Home' as a
starter to the album:
