Paul Banks (Interpol's lead singer, lyricist and guitarist) reveals his solo album, under the guise of Julian Plenti. Banks has previously performed under the 'Plenti' moniker, and his debut features contributions from Mike Stroud of Ratatat, Sam Fogarino of Interpol, Charles Burst of The Occasion and Striker Manley of Stiff Jesus.
This incredibly varied album runs the gamut from gorgeous folk-tinged acoustic songs to huge orchestral guitar anthems. The palette changes from black and white to colour and back, from regal Eastern European synth sounds of "Only If You Run" to the sad but triumphant brass of "Unwind".
"Playfully ominous."
- PITCHFORK
"Contains an icy atmosphere reminiscent of Bowie's Berlin period."
