Interpol

In March 2011, Interpol was riding high on the wave of their self-titled album, released just a few months earlier in September 2010. This album marked a bit of a new chapter for the band, following the departure of bassist Carlos Dengler, who had been a mainstay since their formation. The live recording at O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire captures a critical moment as the band navigated this transition, blending their iconic post-punk sound with fresh elements, particularly in the arrangement of tracks like 'The New.' Fans felt the weight of nostalgia mixed with the excitement of new material, creating a palpable energy in the crowd. This performance is not just a concert; it's a historical snapshot of Interpol reinventing themselves while staying true to their roots.
