Album Notes & Community Reviews

Releasing his second solo album under his actual name—abandoning the 'Julian Plenti' moniker—the Interpol frontman expands his stylistic palette beyond brooding post-punk. The project heavily incorporates dense orchestration, prominent synthesizer textures, and even subtle hip-hop beat influences, highlighting his diverse compositional interests. It serves as a complex, emotionally guarded exploration of urban isolation and maturity.
