Discover NEW Music: "Julian Plenti is... Skyscraper" - is Paul Banks

As a "die hard" Interpol fan, I couldn't be happier to be able to listen to new music from any of its members! It's Paupl Banks, Interpol's frontman who hides behind this pseudonym but I guess he knows it's not really working, this masquerade. Ahhh... Paul Banks voice! I love his voice! Like so many voices of other fantastic bands, it is very distinct and recognizable. It's not as irritating as Caleb Followill's or as smooth as Dave Gahan's but it has this little something that lulls you in, gives you comfort and keeps you on your toes and all at the same time!

Having listened to the album only 3 times by now, I know that I'll listen to it many more times. I absolutely love it! And I'd say it's a must for every Interpol fan. Not sure if this album would generate any new Paul Banks or Interpol fans but for the existing ones a wonderful treat!

Recommended for:
Every Interpol fan. Everybody who's in for a great voice and beautiful harmonies. To wind down and relax...

My Favorite songs on this album:
Skyscraper, No Chance Survival

Reminds me of:
Interpol (okay that's so obvious!) - but more playful; every other band that experiments a lot with different instruments. In a way, this album reminds me of Panic At The Disco's last album but much darker.

My iTunes rating:
5 stars (can't help it, I am a fan!)

Album Release Date:
August 2009
