Interpol

In August 2015, Interpol was riding high on the waves of their fifth studio album, "El Pintor," which had been released just a year earlier. This live recording at the Lowlands Festival captures the band performing "The New," a standout track that showcases their signature blend of brooding post-punk melodies and tight rhythms. At this point in their career, Interpol was not only cementing their status as icons of the genre, but also embracing their evolution as musicians following a brief hiatus. Interestingly, the title "El Pintor" pays homage to bassist Carlos Dengler, with "pintor" meaning "painter" in Spanish—a nod to their artistic aspirations. This performance exemplifies their ability to engage the crowd and convey the emotional weight of their music live, all while reminding fans why they’ve remained a beloved presence in the alternative rock scene.
