Interpol frontman Paul Banks has announced full details of his second studio album.

The album, which is fittingly titled 'Banks', will be released on October 22 via Matador Records and is the singer's solo effort of his career after his 2009 debut 'Julian Plenti Is... Skyscraper'. He also released a follow-up EP titled 'Julian Plenti Lives…' earlier this year.

Interpol released their most recent album, the self-titled 'Interpol', in 2010. Bassist Carlos Dengler left the band not long after the album was completed. The album reached Number 10 on the Official UK Album Chart.
