And while the production is a little different - this time helmed by David Fridmann, noted for producing The Flaming Lips and a founding member of Mercury Rev - overall this still sounds like an Interpol album. That’s not to say these bands are not already quite successful - some of are considered legends in certain circles.īut when I put on the new album from Interpol called Marauder, I was hopeful that it might sound different than most previous releases by this intriguing New York-based band. Thus it gets a little frustrating when you hear a band that you really like and know in your heart of hearts that if they chose the right production aesthetic they might well reach more people. And when the stars align, where the production and the musical balance are perfect, the music may well appeal to a broader audience. You see, I’m a big believer that the success of a recorded piece of music often has as much to do with the quality of the song writing as the production. But as I happened to listen to these two albums back to back (a purely random occurrence) I realized there was an interesting parallel which might be worth discussing here at Audiophilereview. This may seem like an odd pairing, reviewing post punk pop-rock bands of different eras side by side, pitting America’s Interpol against Britain’s The Fall.
