Interpol’s come back with a new hit with a bit of a change of pace from 2014’s El Pintor. On “The Rover”, jangly guitar work and insistent drums will tattoo a rhythm deep into listeners’ heads. Raw, passionate, and blending together down and dirty Detroit rock with a tinge of 1980s synth / new wave, Interpol is back in peak form. Of particular note during The Rover has to be a brief instrumental section that joins together the two halves of the single. If The Rover is any indication of the typical fare on the band’s new album Marauder (out 8/24), we’re definitely going to have to dig deeper into the album.
