Interpol

In October 2014, during their performance at the Austin City Limits festival, Interpol showcased tracks from their fifth studio album, 'El Pintor,' which had just been released a month earlier. 'El Pintor' marked a significant moment for the band, coming after a four-year hiatus from their previous album, 'Interpol.' This live performance highlighted their evolution and resilience in the post-punk revival scene. The album itself was notable for its blend of dark lyrical themes and sophisticated soundscapes, encapsulating the quintessential Interpol vibe. A fun fact? The title 'El Pintor' translates to 'The Painter,' which reflects the group's artistic growth and vision, resonating through their live energy at Stubb's Bar-B-Q in Austin, Texas. It’s a prime example of how a band can reinvent itself while staying true to its roots.
