Interpol share new song 'Number 10"
/ Ben DoyFollowing the release of acclaimed single ‘The Rover’, Interpol returns with another song off of Marauder (set for release August 24), the unpolished and gritty ‘Number 10’.
One of the loosest and most spontaneous tracks on the album, featured today as Zane Lowe’s World Record on Beats 1, the song tells the story of a secret office romance between Ella, a domineering boss, and her employee. Their pent-up (and unconsummated) desire is matched by the song’s anxious tone, with its surf-inspired bassline, dueling guitars, and punchy percussion building up to an unrestrained, yearning finale.
Meanwhile, ‘The Rover’ has amassed over 3 million streams across digital services, was A-listed on BBC 6 Music, and performed live on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
