I just read an article on BBC about Interpol’s eventual 4th album!
The BBC reports that “Fans can expect “elegant orchestral” sounds on the next Interpol album”. Lead singer/guitarist Paul Banks has stated that bassist, Carlos has created “sophisticated orchestration” that sounds very different from anything that the band has done!” A month ago their drummer Sam Fogarino said that LP4 would recall the atmosphere of their debut album, Turn On The Bright Lights.
It seems the band is contradicting themselves a bit. Banks said that he thinks Sam was referring to the reverb sound of the guitars that the band is going to be bringing back.
So, the dark reverb guitars are back in full force, combined with elegant orchestral sounds? This album sounds bold, and risky. I have faith in them!! Our Love To Admire wasn’t their best work, and even they admitted that. Now they know what not to do, and I believe that they will create an absolute killer album! The world is sleeping on Interpol right now, but that won’t last!

This is their 4th album actually. I know we all like to pretend that Our Love to Admire doesn’t exist, but we must face reality.
