Dear fans,

As some of you have surely heard, Interpol has
completed it's new album.

It was recorded at Electric Lady
Studios, New York, and mixed with Alan Moulder at Assault and Battery,
London.

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.

Touring begins this summer, so check
here soon for announcements and show dates.

There is more:
Sadly,
Carlos will not be joining us.

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.

This separation is amicable, and we whole-heartedly wish him great
happiness and success. We will remain, as always, deeply respectful fans
of this blazingly talented individual.

We can tell you that we
have some very exciting new recruits joining us on the road. So stay
tuned – we will promptly be revealing the identities of these
illustrious players.

We eagerly await the opportunity to
reconvene with you all
– the greatest fans known to Rock.

Thank
you.
Interpol
