Interpol

In August 2011, when Interpol performed at the Rock en Seine music festival, they were riding high on the waves of their fourth studio album, "Interpol," released just a year prior. This album marked a pivotal moment as it was their first without bassist Carlos Dengler, who had been a core member since the band's inception. Fans might recall that this transition added a fresh texture to their sound, helping to define their evolving style. At the live recording, the band was navigating the shift in dynamics while still delivering their signature blend of post-punk revival and atmospheric rock. The palpable energy of the performance encapsulated their resilience and artistic growth during this transformative period. Plus, it’s worth noting that their setlist likely included tracks from their earlier works, allowing the crowd to bask in nostalgia while embracing new material.
