New York City rockers Interpol are still firing strong with their first long player in four years Marauder - and you can win a copy of the new album on vinyl!
Teaming up with Mercury Rev and Flaming Lips producer, Dave Friddmann, Marauder was recorded entirely on tape, bringing a new life to the band's polished history. Frontman Paul Banks talked about his new focus on autobiographic lyrics with the new record, read his words below and check out Jerri-Rae Leef's recent interview with the band here.
“'Marauder' is a facet of myself. That’s the guy that fucks up friendships and does crazy shit. He taught me a lot, but it’s representative of a persona that’s best left in song. In a way, this album is like giving him a name and putting him to bed.

This record is where I feel touching on real things that have happened to me are exciting and evocative to write about,” he explains. “I think in the past, I always felt autobiography was too small a thing for me to reference. I feel like now, I’m able to romanticise parts of my own life.”
