Einer der größten Masterminds des 21. Jahrhunderts beehrt am Mittwoch das Berliner Kesselhaus. Paul Banks , besser bekannt als der Kopf von Interpol oder durch sein Alter Ego Julian Plenti , begibt sich nun auf namensgleiche Solowege. Dennoch spürt man die Arbeit seiner weiteren Projekte und Bands in jedem einzelnen Song. Es ist und bleibt Paul Banks, das authentische Musikgenie zwischen experimentellen Soundarrangements und eingängigen Alternative-Melodien. Jüngst veröffentlichte er auch seine neue Single "The Base", die diesem Stil treu bleibt: Und wir haben noch 1�2 Freikarten für dieses Spektakel. [...]

Essex born, New York bread and hypnotically voiced Interpol frontman, Paul Banks played a solo show in Camden, north London last week with support from California based indie band The Neighbourhood and I had the privilege to attend. Banks is known for his haunting vocals and melancholic lyrics and after spending the last year listening to his work with Interpol, I couldn't wait to see him live, as well as lose my KOKO virginity. KOKO is a music venue that I've ... �

All about Koko, notices informing of the 'unprecedented level in London' of phone theft 'within Licensed Premises' such as these abound. They continue to duly apprise of 'plain clothed and uniformed security personnel' walking among us and although taking a break from his exclusively austere Interpol duties, Paul Banks makes a cogent case for he himself tonight being one such covert sentinel. Where he, Daniel Kessler and Sam Fogarino dress to kill nightly as though Bondian miscreants Banks. Paul Banks here appears toned down in every respect and appositely, he's already beyond casually late by the time he [...]

Paul Banks exuded an easy confidence as he and his bandmates flawlessly performed his solo work on a soggy Saturday night in San Francisco.

Pessimism is an underrated state of mind. Some of the best art comes from a dark place, a distinction not lost on Paul Banks. The Interpol frontman’s deep baritone has become a symbol for the sort of 21 st century cynicism the band soundtracked on their 2002 debut Turn On The Bright Lights. It’s been a decade since that seminal album dropped, and Banks has surely changed as a musician and a person since then. His newest solo album, the first under his own name, features some of the most experimental music he’s released to date. And it’s a [...]

• KLUBB ACE - Paul Banks (Interpol) - The Base

3 ans après  Julian Plenti Is... Skyscraper , Paul Banks , chanteur du génial groupe new-yorkais Interpol , a décidé de laisser de côté son nom scénique Julian Plenti (utilisé dès son arrivée dans Big Apple) pour redevenir Paul Banks, dans la vie comme sur scène. Avec son nouvel album solo intitulé Banks , Paul nous offre un disque sobre indéniablement marqué par sa patte, de la pochette (un immeuble en construction pris en photo par Banks himself au Panama) jusqu'aux titres. Alors non, Interpol n'est pas mort [...]

Charismatic INTERPOL-frontman PAUL BANKS has revealed the music video for Young Again, a track from his recently released sophomore solo album Banks. A record that really managed to create the typical atmosphere of his main band, despite being a bit more uplifting and bright than previous works. Young Again is one of these heart-warming love

Every album he records from here to eternity will be compared to Interpol’s landmark debut, Turn On The Bright Lights [2002] . So what is Banks to do, spend the rest of his [...]

Continuando las celebraciones por la decisión que tomó Paul Banks de usar su nombre real para su proyecto solista (en lugar del ya muchas veces criticado Julian Plenti), aparece el video de " Young Again ", el nuevo sencillo de Banks , el último material del líder de Interpol. Dirige por Sophia Peer.

Paul Banks continues to artistically distinguish himself from his more well-known identity as Interpol's frontman and surpasses his own works as Julian Plenti with his second solo album titled Banks.

Interpol front man Paul Banks is dropping his Julian Plenti alter-ego for his second solo outing on Matador . The album, simply titled Banks , comes out today. If lead single "The Base" is any indicator, Banks will use his baritone and cryptic lyrics to further explore the subtle complexity staked out on Interpol's 2010 self-titled release. However, that's not to say there's nothing new here; just wait for the massive bridge. Be sure to catch Mr. Banks when he comes to the Howard Theatre on November 9th. [...]

It's now been over ten years since Interpol first released their since grotesquely venerated début, Turn On The Bright Lights on the similarly estimable NYC independent, Matador. Ten years . The Essex-born Paul Banks was then but twenty-four. And although it may not be this dark, brooding, and faintly avant-garde ignition that appears to have fuelled this quasi-eponymous sophomore solo full-length, Banks , this record is not infrequently the sound of the man reliving elements of an increasingly distant youth. Musically, much here compiled borrows from his troupe's immediately accessible '04 Antics [...]

photo by Lauren Slusher Paul Banks has played music under a variety of names for some years, but it's only about fifteen years into his career that he started performing prominently under his own name. He's well known as the lead singer for Interpol, but when he released solo material in between his duties with the New York City-based band, he did it under the Julian Plenti moniker. Now touring behind the appropriately-titled Banks , Paul has eschewed Interpol's streetlight-lit guitar rock for a brighter sound that flirts with electronics, lush strings, [...]

Why are so many artists hiding their names behind an alias? Is it to create a certain distance to the music and the narration of their songs? To protect their own personal life and feelings from the stories in these tracks? Or maybe just because it sounds good? There are many explanations but when these

For his second solo LP, Interpol's Paul Banks has abandoned his Julian Plenti alias in favor of his own name. The album, entitled Banks , will be out October 23, 2012 on Matador Records , home to all but one Interpol record. Having such a distinctive voice is a bit of a double edged sword for singers in high profile bands who embark on solo careers. Most people will simply say, "eh, it just sounds like Interpol." Well, yes, but also not really. [via Pitchfork ] Paul Banks - "The Base" [...]

Novità in casa Interpol .
