Today Interpol release their next instalment of new music – the impeccable “Fables” – taken from their brand new record ‘The Other Side Of Make-Believe’, released July 15 on Matador.
The new track follows the band’s well-received first two songs from the record, ‘Toni’ & ‘‘Something Changed’– which came accompanied by a stellar two-part film directed by Van Alpert (Post Malone, Machine Gun Kelly).
“‘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.”
Watch ‘Fables’ – BELOW:
Interpol play the Roundhouse in London for two 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 (Mark Ellis), as well as teaming up again with former co-producer Alan Moulder.
Coming from a group whose early material was characterised by Polish knife-wielders and incarcerated serial killers, you might expect Interpol’s take on the present day to be an emotional tar pit — perhaps doubly so, given the towering credentials of Flood and Moulder’s history with Nine Inch Nails, Curve, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode and more.
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.
