Today Interpol release their next installment of new music – the impeccable ‘Fables’ – taken from their brand new record ‘The Other Side Of Make-Believe’, released July 15th on Matador. Listen/Watch HERE: https://pitchfork.com/news/listen-to-interpol-new-song-fables/
The new track, already a live highlight from this month’s US Tour follows ‘Toni’ & ‘‘Something Changed’– which came accompanied by a stellar two-part film directed by Van Alpert (Post Malone, Machine Gun Kelly). The Guardian called ‘Toni’ “A welcome return from the New Yorkers who sound quite like no one else”, Clash described it as “a sound soaked in gothic beauty”, while The I noted it being “a thrilling, melancholic track”.
“‘Fables’ features one of Daniel’s hottest licks,” comments Paul Banks. “A breezy vocal with optimistic lyrics, and a bouncy drum beat evocative of classic R&B with a nod to the golden age of hip hop. It’s a summer jam and a piece of music we are particularly proud of.”
Interpol plays the Roundhouse London for two sold out nights on June 14-15 and some of their biggest worldwide shows to date throughout the year, including the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles and City Palacio De Los Deportes Arena in Mexico City.
‘The Other Side of Make-Believe’ began remotely across 2020. In early 2021, Interpol reconvened to flesh out new material at a rented home in the Catskills, before completing it later that year in North London, working for the first time with production veteran Flood, as well as teaming up again with former co-producer Alan Moulder.
On ‘The Other Side of Make-Believe’, a deep interpersonal understanding means each member respects the other’s respective strengths better than ever, letting Interpol’s elemental qualities shine through. Song by song, Kessler sketches the architectural blueprint (invariably while watching a film — locus of inspiration for almost every song in the band’s catalogue), Banks frames artwork on the wall, then Fogarino arranges the furniture to have a certain positioning and intent.
Interpol: their methods refined, still in terrific shape.
