Banks, who in recent years has moved to Berlin, said in a new interview with The Berliner that he has been working on a record in the city for the past three years.

He continued: “Aaron lives in Berlin, and I’ve known him since Liars toured with Interpol in 2004. That fucking dude is one of the coolest guys I’ve ever seen with a guitar, and he’s just a wonderful person.

His latest side project follows his previous work with New York-based supergroup Muzz featuring producer Josh Kaufman and The Walkmen‘s Matt Barrick, who released their debut album in 2020.

O vocalista do Interpol também lançou dois álbuns solo, um sob seu pseudônimo Julian Plenti em 2009 e outro sob seu próprio nome intitulado ‘Banks’ em 2012.

Speaking to NME about Interpol’s latest record ‘This Mirror Weighs A Ton’, Banks recently shared that Berlin also had an impact on that record.

NME awarded that record four stars and said: “Banks described ‘This Mirror Weighs A Ton’ to NME as a “no-skips” album. It definitely bears riding it through for the whole journey of Interpol’s sonic past, present and future laid out, marking their most unified yet experimental effort in years and arguably their most consistent and satisfying since ‘Antics’.”.

Elsewhere, it was recently confirmed that Interpol’s forthcoming concerts with Bloc Party at Olympia London in December will not go ahead due to “unforeseen planning issues”.
