Paul Banks has been busy


Interpol front man Paul Banks, the coolest, most modest (modestest??), understated star in modern music, has just released a solo album under the pseudonym Julian Plenti. The album, entitled Julian Plenti is.... Skyscraper is in keeping with Banks' Interpol heritage, a blend of his iconic vocals, spiky guitar riffs and beautifully subtle touches. "Games For Days" has that dramatic rolling sound that Interpol have made their own while "Only if you Run" has a slightly more personal touch perhaps. The standout track for me so far is "Fun that we have", see below.


Julian Plenti is.... Skyscraper was released last week on Matador Records
