Yes it's dark, cinematic and abstract, but sans Carlos D, the New Yorkers are lacking that little bit more

Interpol - Antics: Wikipedia Album Entry

Antics is the second album by New York City-based band Interpol, released in 2004 selling 488,000 copies in the U.S. and over 100,000 in the UK. Although more confident than its predecessor, Turn On The Bright Lights, it largely repeats the same formula of sparse arrangement driven by bass throb and strong drums, with powerful, evocative lyrics sung in a resonant, somber voice by vocalist Paul Banks and intricate guitar lines, reminiscent of The Chameleons. Musically speaking, the general tone of this record is remarkably brighter than its darker predecessor. It made the top 10 list of several music critics for the year of 2004.

Photography for the interior of the album was produced by Ami Barwell.

The album was reissued in August 2005 in the United States with a bonus disc that contained four remixes by the band, a B-side, and the videos for all three singles.

A poster was featured in the Without a Trace episode 911 of season 5.

Interpol - Antics Lyrics

Interpol - A Time To Be So Small Lyrics

We saw you from the ocean's side, from under the boat
We saw you making knots, we saw you get the rope
The boy's appearing on the deck and making it lurch
And the bubble of your interest's ready to burst

More Interpol - A Time To Be So Small Lyrics

Interpol - Not Even Jail Lyrics

I'll lay down my glasses
I'll lay down in houses
If things come alive
I'll subtract pain by ounces

More Interpol - Not Even Jail Lyrics

Interpol - Length Of Love Lyrics

This could be destiny
Oh Sweetheart
I've had no sense of time
Since we started

More Interpol - Length Of Love Lyrics

Interpol - C'mere Lyrics

It's way too late
To be this locked inside ourselves
The trouble is
That you're in love with someone else

More Interpol - C'mere Lyrics

Interpol - Next Exit Lyrics

We ain't goin' to the town
We're goin' to the city
Gonna track this shit around
And make this place a heart

More Interpol - Next Exit Lyrics

Interpol - Slow Hands Lyrics

Yeah, but nobody searches and nobody cares somehow
When the loving that you've wasted comes raining from a hapless cloud
Then I might stop and look upon your face
Disappear in the sweet, sweet gaze

More Interpol - Slow Hands Lyrics

Interpol - Take You On A Cruise Lyrics

I'm timeless like a broken watch
And make money like Fred Astaire
I see that you've come to resist me
I'm a pit bull in time

More Interpol - Take You On A Cruise Lyrics

Interpol - Evil Lyrics

Rosemary, heaven restores you in life
You're coming with me
Through the aging, the fearing, the strife

More Interpol - Evil Lyrics

Interpol - Narc Lyrics

Touch your thighs, I'm the lonely one
Remember that last swipe 'cause that was the right one
Oh, all your mysteries are moving in the sun
And show some love and respect

More Interpol - Narc Lyrics

Interpol - Public Pervert Lyrics

If time is my vessel, then learning to love
Might be my way back to sea
The flying, the medal, the turning above
These are just ways to be seen
