As hermetic as always, Interpol return with one fine piece of art. Yes, we call this art, not mere music. While maybe the first three minutes or so are a bit of a grower, all the tension and build up of the intro blasts in the speakers as the guitars bloom and the song draws to an end. Paul Banks delivers his masterful lyrics with the same grace that put him amongst his generation's most talented vocalists. And Lights, with the band's by now branded moody feel, only makes us pray the new album will be arriving soon.

Hurts - Better Than Love
Besides being incredibly Depeche Mode, Hurts's upcoming single (out the 15th of May) could posibily turn out to be one of the best songs this year. It's positively addicting, it makes you dance and has great 80s harmonies. Plus, much to our great surprise (and delight), the video for the song was filmed in Bucharest. Check out the strange making of on their myspace(the post is named 'Dragostea') and the video below.
