NYC group Interpol are indie rock darlings who have at this point weathered the hardships of interpersonal creative differences, grinding tour schedules and a band hiatus in their ten-plus years of existence. Now the group is finally back on tour celebrating the release of their fifth studio album El Pintor (Matador Records). Spanish for “the painter,” El Pintor paints much of the same resonance of their earlier albums, despite the absence of bassist Carlos Dengler. Now as a trio, Interpol continue to draw critics and fans in with their darkly atmospheric indie rock sound, while still instilling a dance-friendliness to keep spirits up. Catch their return to Fox Theater Pomona tonight with supporting act Rey Pila.
