Where their 2010 self-titled album split the difference between back-to-basics post-punk and lavish experiments, on their fifth album -- and first without former bassist Carlos Dengler -- Paul Banks, Daniel Kessler, and Sam Fogarino hone things even further. El Pintor is Interpols shortest album, and its music is the closest to the ideal form of the bands sound: Kesslers guitar swings between prodding, angular lines and dreamy washes; Fogarino provides crisp punctuation; and Banks yearning-yet-authoritative baritone gives more form to abstract lyrics such as "There is a slope like an appetite" (Banks also steps in for Dengler, and does an able, if slightly less distinctive, job). Throughout the album, the trio, joined by Secret Machines Brandon Curtis, delivers archetypal examples of many of its sounds. El Pintors opening track, "All the Rage Back Home," even combines the bands extremes into one song, pitting dreamy verses against pulse-pounding choruses with results that are catchier than anything on Interpol. Elsewhere, "My Desire" showcases their flair for spring-loaded guitars that build into a skyward rush; "Anywhere" and "Ancient Ways" define their driving rock; and "My Blue Supreme" and "Breaker 1" typify their chilly ballads. That said, the band also leave a little room for experimentation. "Same Town New Story"s skipping beat nods to Banks fondness for hip-hop, while its velvety yet tense guitars and keyboards give it a more mysterious, open-ended feel than many songs here. Later on, "Twice as Hard" makes a brief return to Interpols orchestral flirtations, incorporating strings and piano into a massive finale to the bands most consistent album since Antics. ~ Heather Phares Released: 09/09/2014 Media Condition: Mint (M) Format Type: LP Genre: ALTERNATIVE Format: Vinyl Sleeve Condition: Mint (M) CONDITION RATINGS : G / G+ / VG / VG+ / VG++ / EX / EX+ / NM / NM+ / MINT You may request the results of a play test.
