Carlos D leaves Interpol

Mon 10th May, 2010 in International News

Just over a week after Interpol released a teaser track from the new album, the band’s website reports that bassist Carlos Dengler has left the group.

According to the statement from the band; “the four of us poured our collective heart into this music and we are very proud and excited to share it. It’s a heavy record. But we’re feeling limber; and we’re going to carry it all around the world for you.”

However Dengler will not be joining the rest of the band on tour as “after the completion of the album, Carlos informed the rest of us that he would be leaving the band. He has decided to follow another path, and to pursue new goals”.

Interpol assure fans that “this separation is amicable, and we whole-heartedly wish [Dengler] great happiness and success. We will remain, as always, deeply respectful fans of this blazingly talented individual.”

The band promise to have “exciting new recruits” joining the tour and to “promptly reveal the identities of these illustrious players”.
