Pitchfork

Dark city streets, subway tunnels, and dimly lit apartments are all evoked in Interpol's music, so the snowy mountains and expanse of sky that appear on the front page of the band's website behind a cryptic message-- "07.10.07"-- seem an odd choice.

Could this signify a departure for the NYC boys on their third album and Capitol debut, which presumably comes out July 10, which is indeed a Tuesday? Does that landscape signal a turn in a more Sigur Rós-ian direction? Hmm, would that be a good or a bad thing?

Thanks to several readers for the tip. Catch Interpol soon at a Canadian venue and/or a European festival near you.
