Genre: indie rock Label: Capitol Release date: July 10 Producer: Rich Costey Related Links: Last fm site / Official artist siteBlack-clad New York City post-punkers Interpol is back with more dark, brooding rock on its third full-length and major-label debut, “Our Love to Admire.” Although a slightly more polished effort than previous outings, the album still lacks the evolvement needed to hoist the band up to the next level. |

“Once a sleek, post-punk, now-wave apparatus that seemed poised to resurrect the dark, dystopian rock of old, Interpol is now merely phoning it in on a soon-to-be-cut cash card.” - Haily Gostas, The Minnesota Daily
