Extremely happy to share another track from the new album with you today. Listen to 'Ancient Ways' below, the second track to premiere from 'El Pintor'. soundcloud.com/interpolnyc/ancientways

AT THE STATION!!

Wow. I'm only just realizing that "El Pintor" is just "Interpol" with the letters scrambled around.

I love how demanding all the comments are. "Bring back Carlos D", "The mastering sucks.", "I want darker." "I want brighter", as if the band actually OWES you all something. They don't. You can take the new stuff or leave it, but why slag on it just because it's not what you hoped it would be? It's sad to see fans being put into position to defend their appreciation for an album, or to defend their lack of enjoyment of the same. It's music, it's subjective. If we all liked it the same way we could just listen to top 40. Anyways, here's to the 8th, I know that I'll be buying.

This is so beautiful, my ears are in heaven.

Not bad. Anybody else digging this?

I love the shoegazing feel to this track.

Love the way this starts.. "uuuuuuuuuh FUCK the ancient ways!"

....Oh come on. Carlos wasn't the only one who did something in Interpol. He didn't 'make' the songs. They all had a part in making the music. He CHOSE to leave. This is still Interpol. This is what the chose to write, practice, make and release for us. Deal with it and enjoy what there three fine gentlemen WANT to show us. Sorry to rant (which I don't usually do), but it's annoying that the dislikes for this song are because of Carlos' absence. You have your reasons for not liking to song. But don't dismiss the other members that still make awesome music for us for one who didn't care.

For those who say that Interpol without Carlos is nothing, shut up and listen to this.

This song makes me feel badass when i skate !

I can tell this is an Interpol song..as my body instinctively/unconsciously restarts the song as soon as it ends..

This can go ahead and just be the last song on the face of the planet, because with this on repeat, I don't think I need other music anymore.

The first time I heard this song it didn't seem bad to me, neither good enough, but I know Interpol enough to say their songs are not worth only for its first impressions. Once you listen them over and over again, you discover the breathtaking charm of their music.

I really love this song. I didn't realize the comments were filled with negative backlash! Don't scroll down.

People are def entitled to their opinions but complaining about reverb seems to be a stretch since theyve been heavy users of it since TOTBL. That being said in regards to this song itself you have to remember Interpol are an ALBUM band so in the context of the ALBUM this song will probably fit into the tone of El Pintor when listening to the albums sequencing. I dont think theyre pitching this as a single or anything just like a ton of their songs are also not meant to be singles. Not Even Jail is my personal favorite but it definitely makes more sense when listening to Antics beginning to end. More than most bands i can think of, i feel like ppl try very hard to nitpick Interpol to death when they are one of the most consistently great bands out there. They have nothing to prove and I never look for their music to be "better" than things theyve released before but rather I just look for it to be consistent and here they prove they still know what theyre doin...

This is Interpol. A little Antics and Our Love To Admire. Paul's voice......Love it.

Por favor que exista un cielo después de la muerte y que yo pueda escuchar esta canción las veces que quiera amen 🙏🙏

so you guys just found a way to stole my heart.... again.

Second strongest track on the album imo. Straight from the chorus back into the verse, love it

One of my favourite songs from the album. Progresses brilliantly.

Fuck! This song is amazing! This record is going to be amazing. Interpol is amazing!

This song is the perfect length given how the song progresses

This band will never die.

Many songs of Interpol need to be listen a couple of times to appreciate. And then you love it. But some not.I think this is an exception

This album is gonna be one hell of a spicy meatball

Keep making great music guys! You have never failed my expectations on Interpol since the very beginning! I adore you. Your music is gold! Hope one day I will get to see you on a show!

They should play this song in their shows...

I love the fact that they don't change their sound completely. its wonderful!!!! you know they are still Interpol!

Maybe the 'fuck the ancient ways' is actually a message for all the "Interpol-sucks-without-Carlos" people.

I love the subtle movement in the video - the animation of the letters moving over the hands. Haunting.

This song reminds me of good old Interpol (better than previous self-titled album). Can't understand why there's so many dissapointed comments :(

This new Interpol album is very philosophical. I love the renewed fire in it. It reminds me of Turn On The Bright Lights. Good album!

Interpol could release 3 minutes of silence and i'd still dig it. Good job

Podrán decir muchos lo que quieran, pero INTERPOL tiene su estilo propio, no se parece a nadie. A mi me gusto y sigo esperando a poder tener en físico el álbum.

I love Interpol.. .....new and old.

Fuck the Ancient ways.............Perhaps a message for all those 'fans' wanting another song that sounds like one from the first two albums.

First, the most excellent "All The Rage Back Home" and now this goodness!?! Interpol, you are THE BEST!

I think this song is excellent and has really grown on me over the past week. As I read elsewhere, it's like Antics, but with balls.

First tracks of El Pintor are quite sharp: simple but rather catchy. I really like the mood they create. Sounds like El pintor will be another great album. Keep up the good work.

The beauty and the elegance of this track simply breathtaking.....

Mantiene su estilo, y eso me gusta. Antics, el album que más ha marcado en mi vida. ;)

This is perfect! As good as All The Rage Back Home! omg

I love your music always

Nuevamente Interpol dando cátedra musical. Qué pedazo de banda !

Fantastic songs thus far guys, can't wait to hear the entire album.

It's growing on me, can't wait for the album!!!

Awesome track, cant stop listening to it! Cant wait for the album!

Anywhere is my favorite so far. This album can't come out soon enough

I love the sonics of this song as always there is the theme of longing and loss.I can't wait for the new albbum!!!

No cabe duda que son mi banda favorita, me hicieron el día y muero por el nuevo disco. Siguen con ese estilo que los caracteriza.

at the station!!!! at the staaaation!!!

At this time in the night you make me feel like getting back to my memories.

"The city needs us and all our names": one of those wonderful and inconceivable interpol concepts!!

Welcome back Interpol!

Here's something new and novel: Thanks for sharing the new good music. Really appreciate all you put out. I will be buying this album. Keep doing what you love.

Como siempre...."sorprendentes" wow!!!

Why are people complaining about the reverb? That's the best damn part.

i have been waiting for this album for years!!!!!!!!!!!

This is so refreshing and powerful in a simple way... can't fucking wait. Carlos widow's... just open your minds.

Having only heard two of the songs off the album so far I'm already super excited and just know it's gonna be fantastic, cause it already kinda is.

I would say this is my favorite song ever but I like every other interpol song just as much!

Great song, one of my favorite bands

I freaking love this song. The album is coming out the week of my birthday! Perfect!

Pretty good. I like all their albums really. Anybody gonna see them in Vegas this week? Can't wait.

Food to my ears!!!Honestly miss you guys.

World class.

toujours de la folie de courir alors que mes fesses sont nichées dans un xxl fauteuil !!

YES.

¡¡Este álbum viene con todo!! :'D

I love this song its my favorite of the album right next to All the Rage Back Home but I am really bummed I cant find a single live version of it. I guess its going to go down as one of those songs Interpol refuse to play live like another underrated fave of mine by them "Who Do You Think?"

No matter what song they release people will complain about Carlos being gone, saying that I can't wait for the full album. I'm loving what I've heard from it so far, think it could be one of my favourite albums if the rest of it is as good. Very promising stuff!

Great song!!! Got tickets in my pocket for your upcoming concert on 23-01-15. Looking forward to it.

The music sounds like "Raindrops + Sunshowers" by Smashing Pumpkins. I do like this track. If it's Interpol, I like it. I find the good in it even if at first im not too thrilled by it.

Can't wait to see what the album has in store for us! If these two singles are anything to go by it will definitely be worth a listen or 2!

Siempre fieles a su estilo. Thank you!

Y de verdad existe gente que no le gusta esta canción?... Interpol volvió con más fuerza que nunca, como los extrañaba! :')

Mindblowing...so much going on in this song!!

Can't wait till Portland show .. And thank you for coming !!! It's gonna be epic!

Lawrence KS!! I will be there tonight! Really excited for the concert!

This song along with the rest of the album is awesome :) Blue Supreme, Everything is Wrong and Anywhere are just different class tunes as well. I N T E R P O L ! ! !

this album will be great!

Best song of the album

I am really liking what I am hearing from this album. I am liking it a lot more than Interpol. It's reminding me of their older stuff a bit more.

A new great song from one of my fave bands!

This is powerfull, i fell the energy.

Tomorrow!!

Excelente música! Já é um sucesso! Parabéns !!

Agree with you Wael. it could sounds like a Paul's solo album. Carlos D is a singular and brainy bass player. I'd love him to be back and Interpol to compose all together like they did at the debut.

at the station

Awesome song! I was not the biggest fan of "All the Rage back Home" but this one I feel is more Interpol-ish and less "easy"! Great job, really looking forward to listening to the entire thing! Well I've been looking forward to it since 2010 anyway.

excelente canción!!! saludos desde Perú!!

Ah shiz im gettin hype yo

Ohhh, guys!

I like the heavy reverb but I wish you could hear his vocals more clearly. The general atmosphere of the song though, I think is put together well but if they just mixed his vocals in a bit better I think it would be a lot more appealing. Glad to have Interpol back though!

Can't wait to see these guys in a couple weeks

Amazing tune

Oh how i love you Interpol...

Im over excited to hear El Pintor! I must also add that sam does a great work on drums.

finally...very excited for some new Interpol...
