Antics

Antics (2004) is Interpol's second album, extending their post-punk revival approach with taut, bass-led arrangements, staccato guitars, and Paul Banks's baritone vocals. Compared with their debut it features tighter, more concise songwriting and cleaner production that emphasizes rhythmic drive and sharper melodic hooks on tracks such as 'Slow Hands', 'Evil', and 'C'mere'. The record reinforced the band's presence within indie rock and post-punk revival circles by refining the moody, angular sound they had become known for.
