Two weeks ago, it was annouced on Matador's blog that robotic-crooner Paul Banks of Interpol was going solo as Julian Plenti, and would have an album, Julian Plenti is...Skyscraper, out in August. Today comes more details regarding the album, namely the track list (which features 11 tracks, including the pretty solid "Fun That We Have"), and its inspiration, which was Banks's acquisition of Logic Pro, which allowed him to make music by himself. Seriously, the album's main inspiration is music software.
Skyscraper will feature contributions from Ratatat's Mike Stroud, Interpol's Sam Fogarino, and the Occasion's Charles Burst. It's slated for an August 4 release via Matador. Banks will play a handful of concerts for the album.
Here's the track list:
01 Only If You Run
02 Fun That We Have
03 Skyscraper
04 Games for Days
05 Madrid Song
06 No Chance of Survival
07 Unwind
08 Girl on the Sporting News
09 On the Esplanade
10 Fly as You Might
11 H
