Interpol, who recently signed to Capitol Records, have begun recording their third album.

We are now recording album 3. The studio is in NYC, and we're enjoying being local. The atmosphere and the environs of a recording facility affect the sound and feel of an album in the subtlest ways.

And we are affected. And it is subtle. Sounds great so far. But we'll be here for a while yet.

The band's Capitol debut will be the follow up to Antics, which was re-released as a special edition with the original material as well as a bonus CD with "Song Seven" and one remix by each band member as well as three videos produced for the original album in Quicktime format.
