Carlos Dengler has left Interpol to pursue new goals. I am quite shocked about the news as are all Interpol fans. I didn't envisage any member to leave and have always seen the band as one solid unit. The band split up around 4 times before the release of their last album, Our Love To Admire which set alarm bells off for myself. I was relieved to hear they were recording their new album (which is now complete) but unfortunately the completion has came with a sacrifice.
Unlike a lot of bass players, Carlos was very prominent in the band. Carlos brought that heavy dark and deep bass which set the tone for so many Interpol songs. However, their new single lights shows a distinct lack of Dengler.
Maybe this was Interpol's way of breaking the news to the music world, Release a song which he doesn't really stand out, then announce the album is complete and Carlos has departed. I think that's just the cynic in me however!
There's nothing really much else for me to say except that I hope he is seen again on the music scene with new bands and projects. I'm pretty certain this is not the last we've heard of the New York native! I wish him luck for the future!
I'll always have the memories Carlos!
