Carlos Dengler quits Interpol

Interpol have dropped a bombshell by announcing that bassist Carlos Dengler has left the band.
The somewhat better news is that he hung around long enough to complete work on the band’s new album, which will be out later this year.
“It was recorded at Electric Lady Studios, New York, and mixed with Alan Moulder at Assault and Battery, London,” the chaps reveal. “The four of us poured our collective heart into this music and we are very proud and excited to share it.
 It's a heavy record. But we're feeling limber; and we're going to carry it all around the world for you. Touring begins this summer.”
While details of live dates have yet to be confirmed, we understand that Dublin is almost certain to get a visit before Christmas.
As for Mr. Dengler’s departure, the band continue: “He has decided to follow another path, and to pursue new goals. This separation is amicable, and we whole-heartedly wish him great happiness and success. We will remain, as always, deeply respectful fans of this blazingly talented individual.

We can tell you that we have some very exciting new recruits joining us on the road.”
