Description
At the dawn of the 21st century, the New York City indie rock scene emerged as a beacon of artistic innovation, capturing widespread attention. Within this vibrant milieu, Interpol's second album, Antics, stands out as a landmark release.
Released in 2004, Antics initially received a spectrum of responses-acclaimed by fans yet, somewhat dismissively regarded by critics; nevertheless, time has favored Antics, elevating it to a revered status among aficionados. Covering the album's intricate musical craftsmanship to its innovative marketing, and with insights from lead singer Paul Banks, this book reveals the depths of Interpol's creative evolution and the album's shift towards distinct singles while maintaining its atmospheric essence. Highlighting the band's widespread appeal, especially in Latin America, the book looks into the band's fervent fanbase and the cultural phenomena that arose, showcasing the enduring bond between Interpol and their international audience. It discusses the global impact of Antics, and underscores the album's longevity and Interpol's status as architects of a sound that has resonated across borders and generations, cementing their place in the annals of modern music history.
