New Song From Interpol

It already been three long years since former Pitchfork prodigal sons Interpol have released anything together - which is crazy, because it seems like just yesterday that I started ignoring Our Love To Admire. But after a few solo jaunts by certain members, they are in fact back and apparently ready to release a new album in a short while, and have thusly released first single "Lights" to drum up a little hype.

So how is it? Well... it sounds one hell of a lot less processed than anything off their last album did, and it builds anticipation and tension nicely, as a good Interpol song should probably do. However, after the overall weakness of their last album, it will take more than a nostalgic single to win me back over. Not that I don't want them too! Best of luck to you, Interpol.

Lights - Interpol

*Update - Just looked at Interpol's new logo. What the fuck, Interpol? When has a needless and tasteless 3D logo ever done anything good for any band ever? Do you not remember how sparse and terrify your old logo was? Do you not see that those aesthic elements helped your music effectively communicate emotion and feeling early on? Dont you remember how pointlessly glossing on high budget yet poorly implemented musical affectations in your last album dragged it down so far?
