← Back | Musician | 2 Music Videos
A keen observer of music would likely recognize Interpol for their unmistakable fingerprints in the evolution of indie rock. The band's entrancing blend of post-punk influenced alternative rock sent a ripple effect across the industry when they stormed onto the scene with their debut album, "Turn On The Bright Lights" in 2002. Their dark, often opaque lyrical style dovetailed perfectly with their brooding, yet hypnotically melodic soundscapes. This set them apart from their peers and brought something fresh to the table.
But it's not just their sound that’s intriguing. Their approach to music videos is equally fascinating. Take the cinematic video for “Evil,” which features a puppet protagonist involved in a grim car accident and his journey through the hospital - it's a curiously disorientating and strangely endearing masterpiece. Then there's the stylish noir-inspired video for “All The Rage Back Home,” shrouded in atmospheric shadows and featuring an energetic live performance. These two represent just the tip of the iceberg in Interpol's creative portfolio, showcasing the band's strong understanding of visual representation with their art. A little-known fact is that the puppet from the "Evil" video was reportedly stolen after a display in a record store and no one knows of its whereabouts. So, if you come across a battered puppet with a neck brace and hospital gown - you might just have stumbled on a piece of Interpol history!
