About this album

EMI France (2004) Released: 27 Sep 2004 11 tracks (46:22)
Antics is the second album by New York City-based band Interpol, released in 2004 selling 488,000 copies in the U.S. and over 100,000 in the UK. Although more confident than its predecessor, Turn On the Bright Lights, it largely repeats the same formula of sparse arrangement driven by bass throb and strong drums, with powerful, evocative lyrics sung in a resonant, somber voice by vocalist Paul Banks and intricate guitar lines, reminiscent of The Chameleons. Musically speaking, the general tone of this record is remarkably brighter than its darker predecessor. It made the top 10 list of several music critics for the year of 2004.

Photography for the interior of the album was produced by Ami Barwell.

The album was reissued in August 2005 in the United States with a bonus disc that contained four remixes by the band, a B-side, and the videos for all three singles.

A poster was featured in the Without a Trace episode 911 of season 5.

    I had not realized it before, but this is one of those albums that I love all of the tracks. It took a while, years, for me to actually properly listen to all of the tracks and for them to grow on me. I don't think I've ever listened to this album consecutively but if I were to, I would not skip a track.

    I'm no music expert, so maybe I'm just talking non sense, but it feels like their music follows a set of rules completely different from everyone else. Like they don't need tonality to make awesome music. Anyway, great album

    It's a good album, but thinking it is better than "Turn On the Bright Lights" is purely criminal.

    What the hell? Why do people constantly associate play counts with something being underrated? As if Last.fm is the ONLY place in the world people can come and listen to music. Critically, Antics is comparatively underrated when measured against Turn on the Bright Lights.

    With over 18 million plays, I hardly think you can call this underrated.
