ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT: Paul Banks 'Banks' LP

Whether you know him as the frontman of American post-punk revival band Interpol or simply just as a solo act, be happy to know that PAUL BANKS has announced the release of his sophomore album Banks.

Being in Interpol since it's formation back in 1997, Banks released his first solo record under the name of Julian Plenti in 2009 titled Julian Plenti Is... Skyscraper. Building on his solo career, he released the five-track EP Julian Plenti Lives... in June of this year.

His newest project Banks was recorded in New York and Connecticut and was produced by Peter Katis (Interpol, The National, Jonsi). The new record encompasses Banks' dry humour and projects music that has been naturally conceived through his musical influences. It also invites his audience to step into his personal space as he completely exposes his emotions in this catchy LP. Having been described as a “Tour-de-force of exhilarating minor-key intensity,” look out for Banks as it is set to be released through Matador on 23^rd October.
