Interpol – El Pintor (Soft Limit)
Why you should listen: It’s been four years since the suited-up New Yorkers released their eponymous fourth album. They’re back here, minus pouty bassist Carlos Dengler, and layering singer Paul Banks’s signature baritone over lush guitar lines and stuttering drum rhythms.
