Their sixth studio album.Vier Jahre liegt das letzte Release von Interpol bereits in der Vergangenheit. 2018 kommt nun aber endlich, worauf Indierockfans so lange gewartet haben: das neue Album »Marauder«, der mit Hochspannung erwartete Nachfolger von »El Pintor« (2014).

Der Titel »Marauder« bedeutet übersetzt in etwa »Plünderer«. Die Arbeit an den Songs fand im New Yorker Proberaum der Yeah Yeah Yeahs statt. Um die Produktion kümmerte sich mit Dave Fridmann ein echter Profi. Er arbeitete in der Vergangenheit bereits für Künstler wie Spoon, The Flaming Lips, Weezer, Mogwai, Tame Impala, Baroness und viele mehr.

Mit der ersten Auskopplung »The Rover« haben Paul Banks und seine Mannen schon vorab gezeigt, dass sie ihr Talent für inhaltsstarke Texte, ihre Kreativität und ihren ganz persönlichen Post-Punk-Indierock-Sound nicht verloren haben. Zudem soll es auf der Platte ziemlich funky zugehen. Wir halten euch dazu auf dem Laufenden.

Das Cover des neuen Albums zeigt übrigens eine Fotografie des früheren US-Justizministers von Elliot Richardson. Dieser trat 1973 von seinem Amt zurück, als er den Watergate-Sonderermittler Archibald Cox auf Anweisungen von Präsident Nixon entlassen sollte, sich aber weigerte, dies zu tun.

Interpol release their sixth studio album Marauder on Matador Records. For the first time since 2007’s Our Love to Admire, Interpol have opened themselves up to the input of a producer. For two-week spells between December of 2017 to April of 2018, they travelled to upstate New York to work with Dave Fridmann – famed for recording with Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips, MGMT, Spoon, Mogwai, and countless more. In the run up to writing and recording, Sam found himself immersed in soul drummers such as Al Jackson Jr (Otis Redding’s drummer) and 80’s funk producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. “How can I make shit swing?” was the question Sam repeatedly asked himself, and the answer is in the striding gallop of opener If You Really Love Nothing, the embellished skip ‘n’ bounce of Stay in Touch and the R&B swagger of closer It Probably Matters. Interpol have always been world-beaters at creating a feeling, but Marauder is where the feel is just as crucial. Paul may have stepped out of the shadows as a bassist, but he’s stepping into an even brighter light as a songwriter. During Interpol’s previous albums, the singer largely kept himself out of his own work, preferring to fill his lyrics with detached thoughts, characters, and observations, often phrased in abstract. But more than 20 years on since forming at NYU, the frontman is finally allowing himself to play a role in his own stories. “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 romanticize parts of my own life.”
