Along with the new album message a couple of days ago
the band shared the first singleToniand its eye-catching clip.
And just like that here’s already piece two, called Something Changed.
A moony mid-tempo Interpol ballad, as we know them.
Paul Banks about the video: “In “Something Changed,” part 2 of our short film with Van Alpert, reality and reverie converge and our two lead characters find themselves in a kind
of dream state — being pursued inexorably by an ominous figure (played by myself). The
lives of the three are intertwined in a nebula of fear, retribution, desire, and defiance.”
Paul Banks (frontman): “The nobility of the human spirit is to rebound.
Yeah, I could focus on how fucked everything is, but I feel now is the time
when being hopeful is necessary, and a still-believable emotion within what
makes Interpol, Interpol.”
On the lead single TONIInterpol do the melancholically
rockin’ Interpol we, fans,all know.
Banks about the video clip: “We bonded over shared film inspiration as well
as a passion for classic music videos by the likes of Glazer, Cunningham, and
Jonze. Van, in my opinion, is in the club with these legends; and it’s exciting to
watch him build his own enduring body of work.”
