Interpol's Paul Banks Talks "Sacrifice," "Togetherness" Around New Album, 'Marauder'

[@denamariedance5980]

I just LOVE him.

[@dooshmagee2165]

Real good interviewer and questions. After seeing so many interviews you appreciate actual interesting questions and an interviewer who shows real appreciation of the band, thank you

[@Specialist_7]

Damn he looks good...

[@sixty-nine3574]

$$ does that. He used to look nothing like that.

[@Wisdawms]

@@sixty-nine3574 tf u mean he looked better in his primer years

[@pandaroc1]

For me El Pintor was a great album. I’m looking forward to this new one. Great interview by the way.

[@pandaroc1]

Daniel Laing totally agree but Bright Lights is a masterpiece.

So cool. Glasses indoor. 😍

[@shadygroves8252]

Trini Carillo right lol although, it does kinda look like someone... turned on the bright lights? 😏

[@trinicarillo4179]

Lol. Nice 👍. It seems I come alive every 4 years. I am so happy.

[@rdrake316]

I was fortunate to see them at that Hyde Park gig. They went on just before the Cure.

[@Khrisita00]

I love Him, & I love Interpol Too

[@eduleon72]

I remember that first show at MSG, that screen stayed there for a couple of songs, although I kinda knew at what moment was supposed to drop in Pioneers to the falls. Can’t wait for February 16th and listen to the entire album. I’m impressed that Q104.3 actually had P. Banks on the radio. Thanks

[@PatrickTK21]

Yeah I think Paul is mistaken here- I was at the Fall '07 show at MSG with Cat Power and they were touring for 'Our Love to Admire.' I'll be there again in February and expect another amazing set- there's a lot of great material on the new record that I'm sure will translate well live.

[@sixty-nine3574]

Ewww....dude, you were way too old to be listening to highschool music back then. You were already 30 and still listening to kids music? Sad.

[@creepyzeek1]

Yeah, sure

I love the Sub Pop sticker in the back

[@invisiblecurious856]

Nice catch i saw it too

[@sins1549]

Paul Banks should experience Joe Rogan

[@shadygroves8252]

Sin s Carlos D on Joe Rogan would be crazy lol

[@palmo9823]

You stop that

[@roblosh8417]

A few years ago I would’ve wished man 🙁 Used to watch Rogan too. Unfortunately Joe only talks to right wingers to show how “centrist” he is now. I miss Interpol a lot, can’t wait for their next album ♥️

[@kid-ava]

Lol no Paul probably wouldn't wanna talk to that guy

[@BananaWorm]

I wanna hear him talk about what happened with Carlos

[@beckeredward14]

A house outside of Buffalo? Cool. I am in that area. Make sure you get to the Niagara Falls. Everyone should see it at least once.

[@herbertking8463]

[@Sucrelune77]

Nice job !

[@kumasuke1]

Awesome Paul Banks!

[@kennybarron2089]

Why does he bypass every question about Carlos D?

[@Venkman00]

Have you read the recent Pitchfork piece on what albums influenced him personally? He goes into stuff between him and Carlos D a bit. A tiny bit, but you can get an idea of what it was like between them before Carlos' departure.

[@palmo9823]

He left/got the boot on bad terms

[@inquietudsola6835]

besémonos paul

[@hauyyne]

JAJAJAJAJA 😏

[@viviana2263]

Paul ha hablado varias veces del significado de the rover y nunca lo entiendo jaja se que es sobre un lider de culto pero despues de ahi no logro conectar en si la.idea de la cancion...

[@kennybarron2089]

I have heard interviews with Carlos and he’s up to a meeting with Paul and the band about coming back or at least playing some shows but Paul is all stuck up when it comes to anything about Carlos. There music was so so much tighter with Carlos first three albums were bad ass. But this slow emo shit really turns me away

[@rdrake316]

Carlos abandoned Interpol. Carlos was difficult to work with according to Sam and Paul. Sam gave the most detailed interview into all things Interpol back in May on a drummer's podcast done down in Athens, GA.

[@Specialist_7]

@@rdrake316 That one is one of the best Interpol interviews if not the best. Loved listening to the whole thing.

[@zarjazzandtupelo]

cuz Paul is rad af and Carlos is a dick af. let's be real here...

[@Beth___-]

Whats the name of that yt interview??

[@JesseBrown-qf6zp]

I thought Banks prefered to shun politics in art. Apparently not. It speaks volumes of the level of political saturation of society that even Paul, whose lyrics tend to require a decoder (that is if there is anything to decode in the first place), is attemping indirect political commentary.

[@vincemelson9655]

He lives in New York city so his music is going to have a certain amount of political undertones by default art is not exist in a vacuum stop being a crybaby

[@JesseBrown-qf6zp]

Vince Melson Except Paul has stated that art should be separate from politics, which is self-evident in his material until society reached this current level of hyper politicization.

[@blakelyhall8191]

@@JesseBrown-qf6zp do you have a link or citation for this quote your are attributing to Mr. Banks?

[@JesseBrown-qf6zp]

@@blakelyhall8191 No. I think Paul said so in an interview for a magazine. The statement he released while opening for Morrissey, in which he affirmed his respect for both political sides, is further corroboration of a generally neutral position.

[@michaelhauser6440]

@Blakely Hall Bitch please. Like you cite everything you say
