New York sartorialists Interpol will channel the sound of debut record Turn On The Bright Lights for their next studio effort. In an interview with Paste Magazine, drummer Sam Fogarino revealed the new album is due in early 2010.

“The new record falls back towards the first [ Turn On The Bright Lights ],” Fogarino said in the interview. “In trying to move forward, there was an unspoken realisation that you can’t let go of your sonic-defining tag.

“There was an effort in Daniel [Kessler]’s guitar tone; he rediscovered it playing in his loft space for a year without anybody. The quality of that tone, played in a big room, is just beautiful. It creates an atmosphere.”

The skinsman also suggested the band wasn’t enamoured with their last album, 2007’s Our Love To Admire. ”[It] was not our most cohesive moment. It was when reality kicked in as to where we were and where we were never going back to.”
