Praise for The Other Side Of Make-Believe
“A point of assured power on NYC trio’s seventh…There’s something quite masterful about The Other Side Of Make-Believe” – MOJO
“A welcome return from the New Yorkers who sound quite like no one else. Always playing it cool while evidently wounded, they continue to thrust a real sense of theatre into indie rock” – The Guardian on ‘Toni’
“One of this century’s most special bands (…) return with their best album in years” – The Irish Times
“Confident, compelling return” – Classic Rock
“Interpol haven’t sounded this driven, or their songs this urgent, in years” – Louder Than War

On August 20th, Interpol’s canonical debut album Turn On The Bright Lights turns 20. Commemorating this landmark, the band today make cherished, fan-favorite 2003 TOTBL companion The Black EP available on digital platforms. Originally released on August 26th, 2003, as a limited-edition CD, the long out of print The Black EP features the studio version of ‘Say Hello To The Angels’, a demo of ‘NYC’ and four TOTBL-era songs recorded live in session for Radio France in 2002, including fabled non-album bonus track ‘Specialist’.

Accompanying the release is a 2002 short documentary on the band made by a French subsidiary of then-label EMI. Hitherto lost in the annals of 144p YouTube rips, the 13-minute clip is brought to glorious hi-res restoration, featuring interviews with the band as well as snippets of performances of ‘PDA’, ‘NYC’, ‘Untitled’ and ‘Stella was a diver and she was always down’.

Last month, Interpol released their seventh album The Other Side Of Make- Believe. “There’s something quietly masterful about The Other Side Of Make- Believe,” said MOJO. NME called it “a confident, rewarding and subtly adventurous new chapter for Interpol“. The Sunday Times noted the songs “possess a strange, desolate beauty“, while Clash said, “The Other Side Of Make-Believe’ (…) could well represent the New York band’s finest music since their debut album”.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
