With their expansive sound, dark wit, and a flair for the dramatic, Interpol went from being one of New York City's most talked about bands to becoming one of America's most exciting and acclaimed. Fulfilling the promise shown on their three previous EPs, Interpol's 2002 full length debut, Turn On The Bright Lights, established the quartet as a major force despite their brief tenure. It is a filler-free, fully realized statement of intent; few debut albums have sounded this confident or displayed as much emotional range.
“One of the decade’s great guitar epics, demanding rapt attention for 49 expertly paced minutes.” - Rolling Stone, Best Albums Of The Decade
“Wrought with emotional disconnection and faded glory, epic sweep and intimate catharsis. One of the most strikingly passionate records we’ve heard.” - Pitchfork, #1 Album of 2002, Best of the 2000s
