Interpol

Interpol brings their seventh album, The Other Side of Make-Believe, to Nashville, a record born from pandemic isolation and shaped by legendary producer Flood into something unexpectedly tender and hopeful. Paul Banks' vocals carry a new vulnerability here, while Daniel Kessler's guitar arrangements reach skyward and Sam Fogarino's drumming finds room to breathe and plough through in equal measure. A quarter-century into their career, this noirish trio remains one of the most distinctive rock groups of the 21st century, now exploring pastoral longing alongside their signature dark undercurrents.
