Back in April of this year, Interpol drummer, Sam Fogarino, guest DJed our We Live In Public New York premier party and mentioned the band was working on a new record.  However, when Paul Banks released his recent Julian Plenti album, which Sam drums on, we couldn’t help to wonder if that’s what he was talking about.

In a recent chat with Paste, we were pleased to find out Sam officially announced the band has a ‘yet-to-be-titled’ fourth album in the works for release in early 2010.  One of our all-time favorite albums is Interpol’s 2002 Turn On The Bright Lights, so we couldn’t be more excited to hear the next record rediscovers this sound. Said Fogarino:

“The new record falls back towards the first. In trying to move forward, there was an unspoken realization that you can’t let go of your sonic-defining tag. There was an effort in Daniel [Kessler]’s guitar tone; he rediscovered it playing in his loft space for a year without anybody.”
