Interpol return to TOTBL

This has me all excited! I am a massive Interpol fan. Luckily enough I've managed to catch them live a few times and their gigs never fail to impress.

Songs from Our Love To Admire may not have been in the true "interpol style" of obstacle 1 or NYC, but when performed live Paul Banks vocals backed with that haunting guitar of Kessler produces something quite magic indeed.

Pioneer to the falls especially is a personal favourite when performed live.

On the whole though, their last album wasn't their best and many listeners were left thinking "what the hell". Amidst rumours of splitting up four times along the way, you wouldn't have been frowned upon for thinking this would be their last offering.

With two years since OLTA, News!! A new album, and more promisingly Fogarino says Interpol have returned to their debut sound! This surely must excite a lot of people not least of all me! I was literally jumping for joy when I heard the news.

“The new record falls back towards the first,” Fogarino says “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’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.”

So there you have it, Interpol are returning and even better they're returning to their earlier sound. Their first offering since 2007 will be out early 2010. Needless to say, this Soul is quite excited!!
