This is Julian Plenti. Looks familiar?
Well, he should do, it’s Paul Banks from Interpol. He has been playing solo sets under the name Julian Plenti for a while now, and willl release his first solo album in August, entitled Julian Plenti Is…Skyscraper. This will be released on Matador, naturally.
What the title means is anyone’s guess. A reference to ‘Mmm skycraper I love you’ by Underworld? Quite probably not. But on first listen it seems that after the -let’s be honest – disappointing third Interpol album Our Love To Admire, Mr. Banks has got his inspiration working again. Let’s hope as well as the whole album being this good that the band produce another album as good as Antics or even Turn On The Bright Lights.
