Self-titled album due in September Interpol Set LP Title, Enlist Dave Pajo
In the midst of their return, New York gloom-rockers Interpol have hit some speedbumps. Bassist Carlos D left the band, and they were forced to cancel most of their forthcoming tour after their dates opening for U2 fell through. But now Interpol have a new member and some concrete news about the release of their fourth album.
First off: According to the band's website, the forthcoming Interpol album is self-titled, and it'll arrive sometime in mid-September. Secondly, the band has also revealed their replacement for Carlos D: indie lifer David Pajo.
Pajo is probably best known for his stint in the pioneering post-rock band Slint, but he's also played with a long list of other people, including Tortoise, Stereolab, Zwan, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Royal Trux, the For Carnation, and Dead Child. He's released solo records under the names Pajo, Papa M, Aerial M, and M, and he spent last year as a touring multi-instrumentalist for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. He's better known as a guitarist than a bassist, but he knows how to play his instruments.
