The new (Interpol) (LP 2803)

Interpol  Turn On The Bright Lights (CD, Matador Records, 2002) ****  

GenrePost punk 

Places I remember: The Warehouse sale bin.

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: NYC

Gear costume: PDA 

Active compensatory factors: Well I'll be! I had always assumed Interpol were a north of England band, instead they are all New Yorkers!

The sound often seems inspired by post punk bands like Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine, hence my belief. I have zero problem with that, as I loved all that stuff and Interpol forge their own brand of post punk on this debut album.

Where do they all belong? It's an album that rewards volume and repeat plays!
