Interpol - Our Love to Admire (July 10th)

[Nuttkase]

All I have to say is it's about fucking time. It's been three years since Antics and I have been waiting on a new album for awhile now. I had kind of gave up on checking their site for info so I just found out about this album today. It is easily in my top 3 anticipated albums this year, the other two being the new Circa Survive (almost there for that one) and the new Minus the Bear.

I still listen to both Turn on the Bright Lights (top 20 favorite album of mine) and Antics all the time, but I need some new stuff to listen to. It is going to be their first release on a major label (Capitol.)

It's produced by Rich Costey (Muse, Franz Ferdinand) so I think his style will fit perfectly.

Sound of the album, taken from wikipedia:

“ We had keyboards on from the start which we've never done before. It's like a fifth member. There's a lot more texture, and interesting sounds, there's definitely progression and growth." ”
—Guitarist Daniel Kessler, in an NME interview.


According to band members, Interpol's next album will be more "expressive" than the group's previous efforts, and there will be a much greater use of keyboards and textures.[2] The band has since revealed little about what the new album might sound like. However, Billboard recently offered the following brief descriptions of some of band's new songs:

“ First single "The Heinrich Maneuver" is a peppy kiss-off to an ex-love now residing on the opposite coast and hits radio May 7; the band has been playing it of late during its just-concluded Canadian tour. The band is on familiar footing with tracks like the tense "No I in Threesome" ("Maybe it's time we give something new a try," frontman Paul Banks sings) and the relentless "Mammoth," which are loaded with Daniel Kessler's simple, repeated guitar riffs and Carlos D's powerful bass underpinnings. There are some new sonic experiments; the album begins with the funereal, nearly six-minute "Pioneer to the Falls," featuring Jim Morrison-esque crooning from Banks, and wraps with another unusually ambient piece, "The Lighthouse." Hints of soul creep in on the spaced-out "Rest My Chemistry" ("I've slept for two days / I've bathed in nothing but sweat," Banks sings) and "Pace Is the Trick." ”

First single - The Heinrich Maneuver

A little more upbeat then the usual Interpol song, but very good and catchy as hell. Paul still has the same hypnotic Ian Curtis inspired sound to his voice, that's great to hear he hasn't changed up his style. This song really makes me want to hear the rest of the album.

There's 3 live new songs on that same site I'm waiting to come back online. Post em up for you as soon as it comes back.
I've been listening to Antics a lot lately, this album should be great.

 

[Nuttkase]

Nice, are the live songs decent quality?

You should check out Cut City if you never heard of them RJ. Not near as good IMO, but still pretty damn good stuff. Listen to "Anticipation" on their myspace, sounds damn near like a modern Joy Division song lol.

Pretty cool. And I didn't get a chance to hear the live tracks, saw em posted about an hour before the site went down. Still no clue why it happened, Eyeball must have went after them again lol.
Have you listened to Heavens yet? It's Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio's side project. Neo-new wave stuff.
Here's their album Patent Pending. One of my favorites of last year.

Funny enough I've never even listened to Alkaline Trio at all. I'll check out Heavens though, thanks.

 

[B-Buzz]

Looks like I'll have something lined up for song of the day tomorrow then! haha

 

[Nuttkase]

Aren't they (Alkaline Trio) Pop-Punk? I have never really been big on Pop-Punk (except there is this band called The Ergs! that I like quite abit) but I'm always down to check out some new music.

dam thats good news. i cant wait for this either. my buddy just saw them at coachella and said they kick ass live too.

 

[Nuttkase]

Interpol is fucking awesome live, I've seen them twice before. They aren't really a band you jump around or dance to though. You just kind of chill, listen and take in the show. I highly recommend seeing them live if anyone ever has the chance. I know I'll be catching them here in Seattle when they go on tour for the new album.
