The Interpol album bandwagon is exceeding in its pace. Last week the release date was put forward and a video unveiled. This week the tracklist has been revealed, as well as a little shot of the cover art (via Pitchfork).
On the pre-order page for the band's self-titled record on Matador's website, there's an image of what we assume to be the front cover. It's relatively small at the moment but looks something like this:
I'm kind of hoping it isn't the proper cover art because a) it's total rubbish and b) it's total rubbish. Never mind, eh? 2010 is the year of the 10-track album, and Interpol have followed suit. Here's what track titles they're offering, all of which are much better than the front cover.
• Success
• Memory Serves
• Summer Well
• Lights
• Barricade
• Always Malaise (The Man I Am)
• Safe Without
• Try It On
• All of the Ways
• The Undoing
Interpol's fourth and eponymous LP comes out on September 6. Click below to watch the new video for 'Lights', which came out last week.
