15. Interpol – PDA
This past weekend me and some buds packed it up and high-tailed it down to Chicago to catch Interpol sexily swagger their way through the Aragon Theater. Similar to last time, they played as spartan as possible. Beyond singing, I think Paul said between two and three words to the audience. That, in conjunction with the precision they perform with and Carlos’ gothic coroner’s jacket/Dracula suit made it very much an Interpol set through and through.

One of the things I like most about Interpol is the motion that each track seems to carry. Take PDA. The way I envision this song is as something running towards a cliff and taking flight at that ultimate moment of danger and tension.
Check out those first three minutes of flight check, building up material and laying much foundation. Plowing through this and that, muscling its way through to that moment, 3:09 in when the ground cuts away. Soaring free, propelled by their own weight, outward those guitars fly. They hang aloft for a full 45 seconds before those wings of Sam Fogarino spread and pump, propelling that flight further still. Cruising past the hazy cirrus clouds of Paul Banks’ vocals, the stage is set for a brush with the angels in the following track.

And unfortunately they didn’t play C’mere this time either but it was amazing again none the less. But I still want to hear that song live…
