Producer: Andrew Wyatt

The post-punk revival legends toss out any notion of a stripped-back sound for their eighth album, giving audiences orchestral instruments, complex production, and ever-so-dystopian imagery and messaging.

The record is just as propulsive and melancholic as their acclaimed earlier works, but polished to reveal the nuance of every rhythm and texture. Glam and new-wave influences spill in; coupled with Andrew Wyatt’s pop-heavy ear for production.

The album is easily Interpol at their best, but through a new lens.
