[MATADOR RECORDS]

Hello from Matador Records.

Tomorrow we'll be making an announcement over at the Matablog which we think/hope will interest you.

As Interpol fans, we wanted you guys to hear it here first, so here is the new track from Paul Banks. 'The Base' can be streamed and downloaded for free HERE.

Paul is also now on twitter and you can follow him at @bankspaulbanks.

Check the Matablog tomorrow for more information.
Enjoy!

Holy shit that's awesome. Thanks Matador!!! Off to listen to it ten million times!!!

[pqsm]

Niceeeeeee!! Thanks Matador!

Listening right now.

[Springtime]

It's amazing :mellow:

[Auditorium]

That acoustic melody is ridiculously good, the song has so many different layers it just gets more and more strange the longer it goes on but it is brilliant!

[elfyz]

Such a spurt of energy in news in a short time, it feels like the calm before the storm ;)

Thanks for The Base
I like the guitar line from the beginning, these few notes that you can hear nearly all along and the cymbals at 2'50
It demands some more listens !

[hazey jane]

Thank you so much, Matador.

:wub:

[DesolationAngel]

Woah it electrified me at first listen... wanna go on!

Thank you! also for this kind of interaction. a good step. :)

[visualinfidelity]

WOW :D I'm loving this sound, it's the next level of Julian Plenti

[LolaE Taylor]

Damn I almost missed this, will be more attentive to forum again now. His album can't be much longer now if that is the promotional work starting.
Wonder if this will be a new thing for them together and solo to release a track for fans in the build up to a new release. :wub:

On to second listen ;)

Thanks Matador B)

*Has anyone been able to dl the track as I am not getting any options apart from listening to it??

[obstaclespecialist]

So this will be on the fall album? Hopefully some actual tour dates will be announced soon?

Pinch me I think I'm dreaming!!\o/\o/\o/\o/

[EtoileMaris]

This is way better than the EP. Yeah, I hope the full length album is as good. This is certainly a stronger song.

[Springtime]

Erg, I hate to say it, but does anybody hear Cold War Kids "Hang Me Up To Dry" in the main verse electric guitar riff? Besides that I love the song!!!

Oh! I like this. Pleasantly surprised after being underwhelmed by the EP.

Matador is referring to it as a Paul Banks record vs. a Julian Plenti. Do you think that means anything?

Lola, did you get it to download?

They really do not want people using the Julian Plenti name at all.

[tercat]

The new album is being released under the name Paul Banks. Pretty simple.

[Ely]

I was away a couple of days and it's so nice to come back to this!

I would if I was given any option to save open or whatever else but the only option I have is just to listen and nothing more, even tried a different browser but nada on that too.
