Interpol have revealed that their new album will be released in early 2010 - and is a bit of a retro affair.

The record will be the follow-up to 2007's 'Our Love To Admire' and the group's fourth studio album, and the band's drummer Sam Fogarino has revealed how the sound of the LP is a return to that of their 2002 debut album 'Turn On The Bright Lights'.

"The new record falls back towards the first," he told Paste Magazine. He added: "In trying to move forward, there was an unspoken realisation that you can’t let go of your sonic-defining tag."

Although a release date, title or tracklisting is still yet-to-be announced, Forgarino also revealed how the band had reverted back to their early sound.

"There was an effort in Daniel [Kessler]'s guitar tone; he rediscovered it playing in his loft space for a year without anybody," he explained. "The quality of that tone, played in a big room, is just beautiful. It creates an atmosphere."

Meanwhile, Interpol frontman Paul Banks is set to play just two UK shows in December as Julian Plenti. Performing in Manchester and London, the shows are in support of his debut solo album 'Skyscraper' - which was released earlier this year.

actually (sadly, i'd say) paul denied what sam said (lol)
he said something along the lines ' i have no clue what sam is talking about'
in this interview

Interpol ... heading off into 'new levels of crazy sophisticated orchestration'
So much for Interpol's drummer's claim that their new record "falls back towards" their debut. Frontman Paul Banks has dismissed talk of their fourth album sounding exactly like their first, instead promising an "elegant, orchestral quality" and "some really classical stuff". In Sam Fogarino's November interview with Paste magazine, he described Interpol's "unspoken realisation that you can't let go of your sonic-defining tag". The band, he said, were returning to reverb and Daniel Kessler's "atmospheric" guitar tone. Unlike 2007's Our Love to Admire, which he admitted was "not [their] most cohesive moment", Fogarino implied that Interpol's 2010 release would once again drip with a familiar gloom. Perhaps not. "I don't even know what [Sam was] talking about," Banks told BBC 6 Music this week. Instead of turning away from Our Love to Admire's elaborate arrangements, "Carlos [Dengler] has gone to total new levels of crazy sophisticated orchestration", Banks said. "I think he brings that elegant, orchestral quality and he's gone even further with that." "What we've worked on is a real step forward and just very different and very relaxed," he said. "It certainly doesn't sound like anything we've ever done before." Though he admitted "maybe Daniel's [guitar] progressions remind [Sam] of the first record ... the only thing that makes sense about [Sam's] comment to me is in Sam's drums. They sound really mean, and really good."

fun to see Interpol ...

Last time I thought about them. and thought they were very underrated rock of the 2000s.

I LOOOVE them.
and I can see with so many pages that they are not underrated at all.
probably more popular in USA. I'm never really able to tell what works in terms of music in France.
bref.

It was long time ago when I discovered them. Probably in Crash Magazine in 2003 ... or something.

I always wanted them to do something for a Dior Homme soundtrack (Hedi Slimane's times). But I think they wouldn't really fit it.
 
they will be touring with U2 this summer, album's out till june,i think.
 
+ message from the band

do you know a possible reason behind this decision of his?
i've been a fan for about 5-6 years, they never had a gig close to my country,so this way, it will continue to be this way, it's just not the same, and Carlos is the first reason why i actually took the TOTBL i pressed play. :cry:
 
i think it has to do with him not really feeling the band anymore, his utter dislike for touring and his kind of known problems with daniel.... either way it sucks. it will never be the same again, i've been a fan since 2002 and now i feel rather lost, to say the least
 
i heard there are issues with dan, though had it hard time believing them even though never heard "exact" stories, care to share them?
 
:o ..so bummed about Carlos' departure, he was the most representative member of the band for me.. really too bad, I hope this doesn't weaken the band even more, considering their new single isn't that promising and they seem to have struggled to produce something as captivating as TOTBL.
