Hands:Away

Brilliant new official video for the second single release from the new Interpol album. What you do think?

“The Heinrich Maneuver” is the first single from Interpol’s third album, Our Love to Admire. The cover features a Serval cat. The video for “The Heinrich Maneuver” was released on June 26, 2007. Shown in extreme slow motion, it features a woman who walks in front of a bus unknowingly, only to be hit at the end of the clip where the screen goes black and the song’s outro is cut short.

The video received negative reviews from critics and fans alike due to the slowness of the video and the ending. I quite like it though - what do you think?

“Evil” is a song by New York City-based Indie rock band Interpol and is featured on the band’s second album, Antics. It was released 3 January 2005 as the second single from that album, charting at #18 in the UK Singles Chart and #24 on Billboard magazines Modern Rock Tracks char.

The video, directed by Charlie White, shows a puppet which goes into a hospital following a car accident. The puppet’s name, Norman, was coined by fans on Interpol’s message board shortly after the video premiered. There are a few things hidden in the background that fans on the message board found, such as the hospital being named “St. Pauls” after the Interpol lead singer Paul Banks.

“Slow Hands” is a song by New York City-based Indie rock band Interpol and is featured on the band’s second album, Antics. It was released 13 September 2004 as the lead single from that album, charting at #36 in the UK Singles Chart and #15 on Billboard magazines Modern Rock Tracks chart (see 2005 in music). The world premiere broadcast of the song on radio was by Los Angeles, California station KROQ.

In June 2005, the song was re-issued as the final single from Antics, charting at #44 in the UK Singles Chart.

“C’mere” is a song by New York City-based Indie rock band Interpol and is featured on the band’s second album, Antics. It was released 11 April 2005 as the third single from that album, charting at #19 in the UK Singles Chart.

The song have been played many times at their live shows, before the release of Antics, and has gone under the name “Strangers in the Night”, which had some melodic & lyrical changes in the different song versions.

Paul Banks, the lead singer of Interpol, has said that the song is inspired by the French coast.

“Obstacle 1″ is a song from Interpol’s first album, Turn on the Bright Lights.

It has been considered by some to be a defining example of the “love-it-or-hate-it” aura that fans and critics say surrounds the band; some fans truly enjoy the song, and some prefer to avoid it. The song, inasmuch as it can be defined by a single genre, most fits with the post-punk revival sound that Interpol has become known for, although it is noticeably different from most other songs they have recorded. With a louder, more electric sound, “Obstacle 1″ contrasts with the rest of Turn on the Bright Lights.

The song’s lyrics carry no obvious meaning other than a subtle underlying theme of yearning and love. As with many of Interpol’s cryptic lyrics, this was perhaps a deliberate choice to allow the listener to either interpret as they feel the song resonates with them or to simply enjoy the sound without having to decode a meaning (compare with the Icelandic band Sigur Rós’s use of a gibberish language, “Hopelandic”, to the same end).

Some fans of the band Editors believe that they used many of the guitar riffs and sounds within their song, “Munich”. Although this phenomenon is more in the ear of the beholder than necessarily factual, the two bands have often been compared, sound-wise.

In March 2005, Q magazine placed “Obstacle 1″ at number 91 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.
