Interpol blasted their new single ‘The Rover’ on last weeks episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on June 8th. You can check out footage of the performance below...
The track comes from their new record Marauder, which they announced earlier this week. The new album is out August 24th via Matador Records. This will be the band's sixth full-length album and it was written in the Yeah Yeah Yeahs rehearsal rooms in Manhattan. It was later produced at Tarbox Studios with Dave Fridmann of Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips, MGMT, Spoon and Mogwai fame.
In a press release, lead singer Paul Banks said of the new record: "Marauder is a facet of myself. That’s the guy that f**ks up friendships and does crazy shit. He taught me a lot, but it’s representative of a persona that’s best left in song. In a way, this album is like giving him a name and putting him to bed."
Banks concluded: "This record is where I feel touching on real things that have happened to me are exciting and evocative to write about... I think in the past, I always felt autobiography was too small a thing for me to reference. I feel like now, I’m able to romanticize parts of my own life."
