New York‘s rock darlings INTERPOL released their second
album ANTICS on 27 September 2004, 20 years ago.

A deluxe anniversary is out now. Different formats of Vinyl/CD/Digital with all
sort of specials, a 30-page booklet and some other collector items. Details here.

You can stream the digitally version below.

Frontman Paul Banks spoke with English music website NME about the making of Antics: “It was a fairly organic and not-contrived evolution of where we were with our songwriting. I’d like to say that we were pushing back on these labels of being super dour in the first round, but I’m not sure how much that would have actually had an impact on the material that we then wrote for ‘Antics’. We had a lot of ‘Antics’ written by the end of the ‘Bright Lights’ tour, so it was almost like a continuation.”

INTERPOL – Their Second Album ‘ANTICS Turns 20

Posted on by JL

18 March 2024

NYC’s darlings INTERPOL have become a veteran band, after 27 years (damn, time
flies supersonically) of making superb alt music. Their sophomore LP ANTICS turns
20 this year, on 27 September.

Pitchfork said at the time: “Though Interpol couldn’t be expected to surpass their previous heights, it’s difficult to imagine a savvier or more satisfying second step. But the real revelation is that the band has wisely ignored a shortsighted perception of their career which dictates that where debut LP ‘Bright Lights’ was an audacious plunge from a great height, ‘Antics’ is the crucial landing. Even on those terms the band has succeeded. However, their liberation of form emphasizes the fact that, in the grand scheme of Interpol’s career, this is only one in a series of great, if not Great, albums. Antics shows Interpol shedding the weight of their accumulated baggage and (hopefully) staying a while. Full review here. Score: 8.5/10.

Interpol will celebrate the albums’ 20th birthday on the road.
First dates (UK), just announced. More shows, everywhere, TBA.
