Interpol create literate, atmospheric, moody, trashy post-punk music that recalls '80s faves the Psychedelic Furs. And this is definitely a good thing. While most young bands are content to rhyme 'make it' with 'fake it,' Interpol pens melodramatic tales of tortured and tortuous urban relationships that are truly refreshing. Like their peers the Strokes, they're bright, sophisticated, and meticulous enough to build stirring soundscapes. Turn On the Bright Lights is a must for anyone who missed Echo & the Bunnymen, the Furs, and Joy Division the first time around.

'The New York quartet unveil their sure-to-be-fawned-over full length debut.  They tap into the sound of Joy Division, Wire, Josef K and early Cure.  But it's really the strong melodies and background music that set Interpol apart- and could make them New York's next most-talked-about band.' - Entertainment Weekly
