[It’ll be blog lite here on Buzz Bands today as I am on assignment at a festival. I’ll have some goodies on the weekend. Meanwhile, enjoy Interpol:]

Interpol returns to indie label Matador for its fourth album (self-titled), which is due Sept. 14. It’s been three years since “Our Love to Admire,” and “Lights,” the first music to emerge from the new collection, isn’t exactly “Turn on the Bright Lights,” but it’s tense and dark, and predictably coated in reverb, a nice slow burn reminiscent of their first album. Minus bassist Carlos Dengler, who’s departed the band, Interpol (originally scheduled to open part of the now-scotched U2 tour) will traverse the U.S. this summer (no SoCal dates yet).
