  • New York post-punk revival band Interpol released its sixth studio album ‘Marauder’ in late August. As with the rest of the project, the lead single “The Rover” is produced by Dave Fridmann, who is known for his work with The Flaming Lips, Weezer, and MGMT. The song has collected over 5 million Spotify streams to date and features lead vocalist Paul Banks singing from the perspective of a messiah-like figure.

      I feel like once you get the particular oblique angle they're working with, it's fairly easy to digest. Every writer has their trick bag, it's just a language you learn if you enjoy the work. And the thrill of cloaking private references in obtuse public code is pretty sexy when you've gotten away with it.

    if only Paul could do this for every song i think all we can die in pace not trying so hard to find every right meaning of ALL of their songs but i have to admit that this fact and that Paul chose to write in this way maybe not so obvious and more in a abstract way it gives to interpol part of their essence. i love to try to imagine in my mind the scene of what Paul are singing and what is themeaning behind this.

    Paul is one of the smart few that got interviewed by "Genius". I love the construction of the songs. It reminds me of the old Beatnick style. Something I adopted in my creative writing. Free flow, but with intent, maybe more symbolic. Sometimes it seems nonsensical but ultimately resolves with a little applied creative thinking.
