Into the Black

Interpol have been on hiatus since their third proper studio album Our Love to Admire was received with a great deal less fanfare than anticipated considering their jump to a major label.  It might be that there just wasn't enough going on with their very singular sound to keep people interested past their excellent first two releases of dark post-punk.  Perhaps enough time has passed that people are clamoring for new tunes.  The band seem poised to return soon and have just offered up a free download of new song "Lights" (for the price of a birthday and an email).  It's classic Interpol with no frills and no surprises.  a return to form?  We'll see.
