Let me preface this by saying that I actually like the lead track “Lights,” from Interpol’s fourth, self-titled album. I like that it’s slow and brooding, with the build up that you’ve come to expect these gloomy lads, but the video? We get it. It’s dark … it’s methodical … it’s spewing splooge out of your mouth?

I’m taking this imagery with a grain of sand as I have high hopes for this album, because I, unlike the rest of the world, enjoyed Our Love to Admire (with a Wrecking Ball attached!).  So a) suck on that, and b)… on the lookout for Interpol, out mid-September.
