Sam Fogarino replaced original drummer Greg Drudy in 2000. They signed with Matador Records and released Turn on the Bright Lights (2002), widely regarded as one of the defining albums of the early-2000s post-punk revival alongside The Strokes' Is This It and Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Fever to Tell. Carlos Dengler departed in 2010 after Our Love to Admire (2007) and the self-titled Interpol (2010). The band has continued as a trio (with touring bassists) since 2010.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpol's sound combines post-punk revival, indie rock, art rock, and gothic rock with Banks's distinctive baritone vocal delivery (frequently compared to Ian Curtis of Joy Division), intricate dual guitar work, and atmospheric arrangements drawing on classic post-punk reference points alongside contemporary indie rock production approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurn on the Bright Lights (2002, Matador) - landmark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntics (2004, Matador)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Love to Admire (2007, Capitol)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterpol (2010, Matador)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEl Pintor (2014, Matador)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarauder (2018, Matador)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Other Side of Make-Believe (2022, Matador)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatador pressings of the Interpol catalog have been issued in multiple color variant editions and limited deluxe pressings.
