Bleep

So many of the glut of great acts who emerged at the start of the 2000s have fallen by the wayside, but Interpol remain unbowed. The band’s sixth LP finds them in fighting form and contains some of the punchiest tunes they’ve given us since their Turn On The Bright Lights/Antics heyday. Cuts like ‘Mountain Child’ and ‘The Rover’ are groovy post-punk numbers, while ‘NYSMAW’ reminds everyone that they’ve always done darkside indie better than their slew of pretenders. Many of the tracks here also have great, muscular work from the rhythm section. Marauder reminds everyone that, on their day, Interpol are as good as anyone.
