Interpol is a renowned band that was formed in New York City in 1997. With their original line-up consisting of Greg Drudy on drums, Daniel Kessler on guitar, Paul Banks on vocals and guitar, and Carlos Dengler on bass (who left the band in May 2010), they have made a significant impact in the music industry.
Known for their distinctive sound and captivating performances, Interpol has garnered a loyal fan base worldwide. Their music blends post-punk revival with indie rock elements, creating a unique and atmospheric sound that sets them apart from other artists.
Over the years, Interpol has released several critically acclaimed albums, including "Turn On the Bright Lights" and "Antics." Their introspective lyrics coupled with their polished musicianship have earned them praise from both fans and critics alike. With their influential contributions to the alternative rock genre, Interpol continues to be an iconic presence in the music scene.

The first album from Interpol in four years, The Other Side of Make-Believe. If fate didn't quite ordain the circumstances for Interpol's seventh album, it was at least fortunate that the band had happily concluded their Marauder cycle on stage in front of 30 thousand-odd Peruvian fans. Rather than be sent scrambling like so many other musicians on tour or promoting new music, when lockdown clamped in March 2020, Interpol quickly got into a productive mood.

Coming from a group whose early work was characterized by Polish knife-wielders and incarcerated serial killers, you might expect Interpol's pandemic record to be an emotional tar pit - doubly so, given the presence of towering producer-engineer duo Flood and Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode) on the boards. But Banks felt the call to push in a "counterbalancing" direction, with paeans to mental resilience and the quiet power of going easy. "The nobility of the human spirit is to recover and rebound," he says. "Yeah, I could focus on how fucked everything is, but I feel now is the time when being hopeful is necessary, and a still-believable emotion within what makes Interpol Interpol."
