About
Interpol’s major-label debut doesn’t stray from the sound established on their first two album, but <i>Our Love to Admire</i> does feel more expansive and cinematic—at least relative to their often claustrophobic arrangements up to that point. A lot of this comes down to the band becoming more comfortable with open space in the music, and allowing for some more delicate sounds like piano and understated string. The slow-burn opener “Pioneer to the Falls” builds up suspense for a full minute before the drums kick in. From there the song feels as though it’s a grand vista presented in black and white widescreen, epic in scale but still haunting and bleak. The ballads “No I in Threesome” and “Rest My Chemistry” have a similar palette and dynamic, but the band subverts expectations by rejecting any implied sentimentality or romance, as though they set out to write more obliquely spiteful variations on R.E.M.’s classic “The One I Love.” .
