After a period of lineup changes and stylistic exploration, Interpol returned with "El Pintor," a focused, urgent, and menacing album that recaptured the band's signature sound.
- "El Pintor" was the first Interpol album not to feature bassist Carlos Dengra, who had been with the band since its inception.
- The album title, "El Pintor," is an anagram of the band's name, Interpol.
- The album was recorded at the Electric Lady Studios and the New York Dürener.
Interpol is a band from New York City, formed in 1997. They are a key group in the post-punk revival movement of the early 2000s. The band released "El Pintor" in 2014, their fifth studio album, following "Interpol" (2010) and preceding "Marauder" (2018).
