Turn On The Bright Lights
Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
Released: August 20, 2002
Chart position: #101 UK, #158 US.
Turn on the Bright Lights was New York City-based rock band Interpol’s first full-length album. It was released in 2002 on Matador Records to a great deal of critical acclaim and sold exceptionally well for an indie release. It also ranked highly on the yearly lists of many rock critics.
Musically, many have pointed out the similarities between Turn on the Bright Lights and the 1970s group Joy Division. Both groups make heavy use of drums, often as the lead instrument in a song, and the lead singer of Interpol, Paul Banks, has a somewhat similar voice in tone to that of Joy Division’s Ian Curtis.
