Antics

The follow-up to their mega-successful debut is no less brooding and intense, but it's now charged with flashes of color and romance. Antics infuses Interpol's dark musical landscapes with new optimism. Vanity Fair called it "achingly beautiful...explores emotional blues, but never, ever plays the blues," while Interview said it's "dark, hypnotic, and immensely catchy." Around here, we just call it great.
