Interpol share video for atmospheric new single ‘Something Changed’

Interpol have shared a video for another new single, “Something Changed.”

Just last week, Interpol previewed their upcoming album, The Other Side of Make-Believe, with “Toni,” which was accompanied by part 1 of a short film. Today, we’ve gotten part 2 alongside the new single. Much like in the recently released “Toni,” “Something Changed” boasts some haunting, melancholic keys.

“In ‘Something Changed,’ part 2 of our short film with Van Alpert, reality and reverie converge and our two lead characters find themselves in a kind of dream state – being pursued inexorably by an ominous figure (played by myself),” singer Paul Banks explains. “The lives of the three are intertwined in a nebula of fear, retribution, desire, and defiance.”

Lyrically, Banks sings lines like, “I waded through shame for this.”

Out July 15th, The Other Side of Make-Believe was written remotely throughout 2020, before Interpol joined forced again to flesh out new material in 2021. On the album, they teamed up with producer Flood and former co-producer Alan Moulder.

“We really extracted the honey out of this situation,” Fogarino explains of collaborating from afar.

“Working alone was raw at first, but has opened up a vivid new chapter for us,” Kessler adds.

As previewed on “Something Changed” and “Toni,” it looks like The Other Side of Make-Believe is going to be a pretty moody, foreboding record.

Check out the tracklist for The Other Side Of Make-Believe below.
 

The Other Side Of Make-Believe Tracklist:

01 – “Toni”

“We usually write live, but for the first time I’m not shouting over a drum kit,” Banks says. “Daniel and I have a strong enough chemistry that I could picture how my voice would complement the scratch demos he emailed over. Then I could turn the guys down on my laptop, locate these colourful melodies and generally get the message across in an understated fashion.”
