New Interpol Album Slated for 2010

November 19, 2009 6:58 p.m. by Bruce Porter

In an interview with Paste, Interpol drummer Sam Fogarino says we can expect the fourth full-length release from the suave post-punk revivalists sometime early next year. The album was recorded at New York City’s famed Electric Lady studios, which included at least one celebrity onlooker. But far from being a distraction, Fogarino fondly recalls Courtney Love’s visit as being “like some weird Coen brothers shit.”

 

Following the lukewarm reception of 2007’s Our Love to Admire, Fogarino promises the new material to be a return to the lush, mysterious grooves found on their critically-acclaimed debut. “The new record falls back towards the first. In trying to move forward, there was an unspoken realization that you can’t let go of your sonic-defining tag. There was an effort in Daniel [Kessler]’s guitar tone; he rediscovered it playing in his loft space for a year without anybody. The quality of that tone, played in a big room, is just beautiful. It creates an atmosphere.”

With the exception of a few unheralded side-projects, band members have kept relatively low profiles over the past couple of years. No doubt Interpol fans will be greatly encouraged by this news. [Via: Pitchfork]
