Marauder

Walk in on your own feet says... Interpol

And finally after months waiting for this, it arrived, the new Interpol album is here and sounds as incredible as they told us it would be. 

4 years after their last album called El Pintor, Interpol arrives as a Marauder in the dark with a new record. As a fan i have to admit i was very pleased by its sound, not only by the fact they decided to keep on going without Carlos D, but also because Interpol had a huge impact in my life, playlist and many other stuff. 

In July, my friends from Bring My Noise invited me to attend a press conference where INTERPOL gave us some details from this album. And it was quietly unexpected that a band with such international success decided to create a big event in a city like mine, Mexico City. 

But let's focus on the record by now. 

What we listen is a new mix of sound with the classic Interpol style, they seem to be more obscure but also more comfortable with each other, like a pack of wolves who know each other for a long time, they have no fear to attack. 

Lyrically their songs have made them grow up as a band, we can listen to new subjects involved, Paul Banks seems to have his mind clear, which is a good thing cuz' most of the albums show a very unquiet behaviour, he told us in the press conference that he prefers to write in the beach cuz' that's a safe place for him and it really seems like. 

The peace transmitted in Marauder is also the calm behind a storm, because the instruments are explosive in tracks like The Rover (their first single), this aggressiveness hit you like a truck and then a wide calm like the sound of sea contrast. 

In resume, Marauder is an album to keep listening, Interpol can keep writing music just as a three piece band, they don't need more, like Nirvana, they can keep touring and we will never get tired of them. 

We feel very proud to have them in our country the times they want, they also called Mexico their second home... so. 

we give this album a 9/10 score and we share to you the album via spotify below.

Be sure to share it with friends who also like the band and if they do not know it yet, share it too. Also check out the video for their single The Rover, filmed entirely in Mexico City.
