New York gloom-rock kings Interpol have returned to Matador, the label that introduced them to the world. Matador released their first two full-lengths, Turn on the Bright Lights (Pitchfork's 20th favorite album of the last decade) and Antics. (Their last one, 2007's not-exactly-beloved Our Love to Admire, came out on Capitol.)
We've already reported that their forthcoming fourth album will be self-titled and that former Slint member and all-around indie gunslinger David Pajo has joined the band, replacing departed bassist Carlos D. And now we can tell you that Matador will release the new album on September 14.
Also, Pajo's not the only new member of the band. As Interpol themselves report on their website, Secret Machines member Brandon Curtis will join the band on their forthcoming tour dates. Curtis will sing and play keyboards.
I guess it doesn't really matter who puts out an Interpol record at this point, but I think of all the better things Matador could do with that money... like paint the bathroom or have donuts in the office on Thursdays AND Fridays. Maybe even rescue an office kitty cat from the pound.
