Interpol has released two new songs, now, ahead of their first new album in four years, “El Pintor”: “All The Rage Back Home” raged in July, and today there's “Ancient Ways,” a darker, harder-rocking tune that could easily head to radio.
The new track debuts only a few days after the New York band revealed a full slate of tour dates, below.
Ten-song “El Pintor” will be released on Sept. 9 via Matador. It was produced by the band and recorded at Electric Lady, with Paul Banks on vocals and bass, Sam Fogarino on drums and Daniel Kessler on guitar. Brandon Curtis (The Secret Machines), Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. (Beck) and Rob Moose (Bon Iver) guest.
