Today we travel accross the Atlantic, to the United States of America.
Now I usually don't really like music from the USA, it is more easily caught in the dark web of music labels, corrupting them to the bone. There are only a few bands which I really enjoy in the Rock genre from this country, and one of them is Interpol.
This band from the Big Apple has a very specific style, with an indie touch which is not unpleasant at all coming from the most labelled country in the world. Their music is very relaxing and holds a certain sadness and melancholy to it. However it is very dynamic and I would even say addictive. All their albums have the same touch, the same guitars, the same extraordinary voice, but they are all excellent from beginning to end.
I first discovered this band by chance when I was looking through the albums on sale in Aix-en-Provence's multimedia store. I was struck by the beauty and originality of the CD's artwork (Our Love to Admire). Without a moment of hesitation I bought it, not knowing what I was going to discover (and usually those discount CDs are not excellent). When I got back home, I was struck with surprise.
In the next few days I had all their other albums: "Antics" and "Turn on the Bright Lights" (by now a new album was released named after the band).
Here is an extract from their first album Turn on the Bright Lights.
Enjoy
