The Interiors is a three piece band out of the closest big city to me, Chicago. I was unsure what to expect when I started listening to the eponymous debut, which will be released in June of this year, but I was quickly caught up in the album and quite taken with their sound. At times they sway close to a musical style reminiscent of The Strokes mixed with The Dodos and at other times I feel they’re part of the leading edge in modern rock. That they’re part of the paradigm changing set {akin to the genre spawning movements started by acts such as The White Stripes, The Strokes, The Killers, and the most contemporary benchmark, Vampire Weekend}.
As far as comparisons can take us there is one way to sum up their album. It is great. As I was listening to the entire album I was immediately struck by how catchy each and every successive track is. Honestly, the hardest part of listening to this album was picking my favorite two songs to put in this post. After each track ended my head would mentally tick off and say “ok, that’s going online,” but as soon as the next track would start I would find myself in a quandary because each and every track is just as good as the one before it. This is easily one of the best debut albums I have heard in a long time.

I told you they were good. And there is a least half a dozen other songs on this debut album that I could have put here on TWF. I’ll shut up now so you can listen more closely to the wonders of The Interiors.

this is great!
i concur, you should hear the entire album.
shooting off is cool, but not surprising. crooked line is amazing … completely unique.
exactly william. i felt as if Shooting Off was one of their tracks that most sounded like The Strokes {well The Strokes obviously minus Julian}.
