Black Vinyl LP

Interpol’s 2002 debut LP was one of the best rock albums of recent years, spending 73 weeks on the Billboard Independent Albums chart, and peaking at #5. Contemporary reviews of the album often noted Interpol’s influences and drew comparisons to several other acts. Michael Chamy of The Austin Chronicle cited “melodic Peter Hook-like basslines; the divine shoegazer textures of My Bloody Valentine and Ride; a peppy, Strokes-like bounce; and a singer who’s a dead ringer for Ian Curtis.” Drop the needle and let the opening quartet of “Untitled,” “Obstacle 1,” “NYC” and “PDA” conjure up your loveless sorrows and public angst.
