Matador has released another song from the upcoming Paul Banks solo album, Julian Plenti Is...Skyscraper (due out August 4th). "Games For Days" is sounding a lot more Interpol-like than the previous song, "Fun That We Had"!

Paul Banks of Interpol has a solo album coming out on August 4. On it, he seems to be exploring more electronic textures and taking a departure from the Interpol stuff. The name of the album? Julian Plenti Is… Skyscraper.

Interpol album opener retrospective:
"Untitled" introduced us to Interpol and their dour yet cautiously optimistic rock. "I will surprise you sometime," Paul Banks repeats for emphasis, chillingly aware of their impending footprint on the indie rock world.
"Next Exit" starts out slow and icy but quickly develops, evoking mental images of thawing glaciers and impending spring.
"Pioneer To The Falls" does an about-face and heads firmly back into the ice age. A curious clarinet wanders into the mix which leads us to wonder, is Interpol headed down the fully fleshed out orchestral rock path next?

Ok, ok, feel free to shit a brick. A new Interpol track has surfaced and is flooding the intertron tubes. Give it a listen, kiddos. Sounds like...something off the second album so far, but we'll have to see how Our Love To Admire pans out when it drops 7/10/07...I do really like the dissonance during the chorus. This is like "Slow Hands" meets a better version of the Editors...
