The ‘Antics’ tour kicks off at The Halls in Wolverhampton on November 1. Support on the London date at Alexandra palace (November 8) will come from Dust and Iceage.
Interpol guitarist Daniel Kessler recently spoke to NME about the legacy of their second album, sharing: “‘Bright Lights’ was our first record, so we had a tiny budget and a small amount of time in the studio and had to make a very ‘live’ record. That record was really how the band sounded on stage at that moment. We just wanted to do that justice.
He went on: “We were focussed on that and being reasonable with what we could accomplish. For ‘Antics’, we had the experience of having made a record and then toured for two years. When we came out of that, we wanted to make the studio work for us a bit more and get more out of the songs. There are more textures and the songs really hold you in the moment a little bit more.

Elsewhere in their conversation with NME, Kessler spoke about launching fanclub The Big House. “We’re not one of those bands who filmed every single thing that we did, but we’re trying to figure out what we do have, what our friends have and what we can share,” he said. “There are some things in the archive that hadn’t made it out to our fans yet. It’s been fun to try and create a little bit more of a community.”
