The discography of American rock band Interpol consists of seven studio albums, nine extended plays (EPs), and fifteen singles. Interpol was formed in 1997[1] by New York University students Daniel Kessler and Greg Drudy,[2] with Carlos Dengler and Paul Banks joining later. Drudy left the band in 2000, and was replaced with Sam Fogarino.[3]
Following a self-released demo tape in 1998,[4] the quartet's official debut was Fukd ID #3 in 2000, an EP distributed through Scottish independent record label, Chemikal Underground. The label later announced that the EP had sold out.[5] The band then self-published their Precipitate EP in 2001,[6] and the strength of the previous two EPs led to the band signing with Matador Records on April 26, 2002.[7]
Interpol's first release for the label was the self-titled Interpol EP in June 2002. The EP was considered a success by music critics, and aided in shedding the band's frequent comparisons to British post-punk group Joy Division.[8][9] Two of the three tracks on the EP featured on the band's debut studio album, Turn on the Bright Lights, released in 2002. The record peaked at No. 101 on the UK Albums Chart,[10] and No. 158 on the Billboard 200.[11] The album was certified Gold in the United Kingdom,[12] with the record's highest-charting single "Obstacle 1" reaching No. 41 on the UK Singles Chart.[13] Two years later, Interpol released their sophomore album Antics on September 27, 2004. The album debuted at No. 15 on the Billboard 200,[11] and secured a top ten spot on the Irish Albums Chart.[14] The album's second single "Evil" peaked at No. 18 in the UK Singles Chart, the band's highest-charting single in the country.[15] Antics was certified Gold in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States.[12][16][17]
In 2006, Interpol left Matador to sign with major label Capitol Records.[18] Their third full-length, Our Love to Admire, was released worldwide in 2007, and brought the band chart-topping success in Ireland.[14] Lead single "The Heinrich Maneuver" became the band's highest and longest charting single in their home nation, spending nineteen weeks in the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, peaking at number eleven.[11] The band's self-titled fourth album Interpol was released in 2010, with the record peaking at number one on the Billboard Independent Albums chart.[11] Interpol was the last album featuring Dengler, who left the band in May 2010.[19]
As of 2014, the band has sold over 1.4 million albums in the United States,[20] and almost two million collectively worldwide.[21]

Albums
Studio albums
Interpol, formed in 1997, has released seven studio albums that form the foundation of their discography, evolving from post-punk revival roots to more expansive rock explorations while maintaining a consistent emphasis on tension-filled rhythms and introspective lyrics. These albums, mostly issued by Matador Records, have charted on both the Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart, with peak positions reflecting growing international recognition, particularly in the mid-2000s. Certifications and sales data underscore their enduring appeal, with early releases achieving gold and platinum status in key markets. Production across the catalog varied from collaborative efforts with established engineers to self-directed sessions, allowing the band to refine their sound iteratively.| Album | Release Date | Label | US Billboard 200 Peak | UK Albums Chart Peak | Certifications |

Live albums
Interpol's official live albums capture the band's dynamic stage presence, drawing from key performances across their career. The first such release in the post-2022 era is Live at Third Man Records, recorded during a special session at Third Man Records' Blue Room in Nashville, Tennessee, on June 13, 2024.[13] This eight-track album was captured using the venue's direct-to-acetate process on a 1955 Scully lathe, preserving the raw energy of the performance in a limited-run analog format that emphasizes unfiltered audio fidelity.[14] Released on December 6, 2024, via Third Man Records, it features selections from Interpol's catalog, including "Pioneer to the Falls," "Say Hello to the Angels," "Narc," "My Desire," "Lights," and "NYC," among others.[15] Available in vinyl LP (limited edition), CD, and digital formats, the release highlights the band's ability to translate their brooding post-punk sound to an intimate live setting, with no chart performance data reported as of November 2025.[16] Another significant live recording emerged as part of the Antics: The Twentieth Anniversary Edition, released on September 25, 2024, by Matador Records. This edition includes a complete 10-track live set from the band's performance at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City on September 22, 2005, shortly after the original Antics album's release.[17] The archival audio captures an unpolished, high-energy rendition emphasizing the era's setlist staples, such as "Next Exit," "Say Hello to the Angels," "Narc," "A Time to Be So Small," "Slow Hands," "Public Pervert," "Not Even Jail," "Leif Erikson," "Evil," and "Obstacle 1," without any covers.[18] Integrated as a bonus disc or vinyl in the reissue package—alongside the remastered studio album and B-side "Direction"—it showcases Interpol's early-2000s touring intensity in a full-concert format.[7] The set is available digitally and in physical editions, including a 3xLP box set with a 30-page photo book, underscoring the raw, audience-driven vibe of their 2005 shows.[19]Remix albums
Interpol's sole dedicated remix album, El Pintor Remixes, reinterprets tracks from their 2014 studio album El Pintor through the contributions of various electronic and alternative artists, expanding the band's post-punk sound into experimental electronic territories. Released on April 16, 2016, via Soft Limit as a Record Store Day exclusive, the album features eight remixes that emphasize atmospheric textures, rhythmic alterations, and ambient elements, diverging from the original's taut guitar-driven compositions.[20][21] The project serves as a companion piece to El Pintor, highlighting collaborative reinterpretations by producers such as Panda Bear, Factory Floor, and Tim Hecker, who infuse the source material with house, deep house, and ambient influences. This approach allows for creative extensions of Interpol's catalog, focusing on sonic experimentation rather than direct replication, and was produced to coincide with the vinyl-centric Record Store Day event. Limited to 600 clear vinyl copies with picture labels and a download code for digital access, the release underscores its collector-oriented nature while making the remixes available in both physical and digital formats.[20][22]| No. | Title | Remixer |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | All the Rage Back Home | Panda Bear |
| A2 | My Desire | Beyond the Wizards Sleeve |
| A3 | Anywhere | Ghost Culture |
| A4 | My Desire | Factory Floor |
| B1 | Anywhere | Becoming Real |
| B2 | My Desire | Man Without Country |
| B3 | Twice as Hard | Tim Hecker |
| B4 | Same Town, New Story | The Field |

Many featured B-sides with non-album tracks or alternate versions, contributing to fan collections and live setlists.

Promotional singles
Interpol released several promotional singles to support their albums, distributed primarily to radio stations, journalists, and industry professionals rather than for public sale. These non-commercial releases typically featured radio edits or full album versions and were issued in limited formats such as CD-Rs, custom-printed discs, or occasional vinyl pressings. Unlike commercial singles, they did not achieve significant chart positions but helped build airplay and buzz for the parent albums.[38][39][40] The band's promotional efforts began with "Narc" in 2005, taken from the album Antics. This radio promo was issued as a CD single by Matador Records in the US, containing the full album version and distributed exclusively to stations for airplay.[38] The release featured simple artwork with band photos and track details, aiding press kits during the album's tour cycle. In 2007, "No I in Threesome" from Our Love to Admire followed as a US promotional CD on the Capitol label. Limited to a radio edit version running 3:39, it was sent to broadcasters in a custom card wallet sleeve with exclusive promotional artwork, emphasizing the track's role in generating radio interest without retail backing.[39][41] For the 2010 self-titled album Interpol, two promotional singles emerged: "Memory Serves" and "Summer Well." "Memory Serves," the second track, received radio promotion through Matador's album advance CD-Rs, which included the full 5:01 version for DJs and stations ahead of the September release.[42] It was part of broader digital and physical promo kits to highlight the album's moody sound. "Summer Well," the third track, had a dedicated CD promo single on Soft Limit (catalog COOPR271), featuring the 4:04 album version in a plain sleeve for European and US radio distribution.[40] These efforts focused on building anticipation without commercial tie-ins. Later, from the 2014 album El Pintor, "My Desire" was promoted via a limited CDr radio edit in 2014, issued by Soft Limit for alternative radio stations.[43] The release, containing a shortened version, saw moderate airplay on US alternative formats, contributing to the album's visibility. A limited vinyl promo variant was also produced for select press and industry use, featuring unique inserts and white-label pressing. "Anywhere," another El Pintor track, followed in 2015 as a CDr promo single, again on Soft Limit, with the full 3:13 version distributed to radio for continued album support.[44] These later promos underscored Interpol's strategy of sustaining momentum through targeted media outreach.| Title | Year | Album | Format | Label/Catalog | Notes |

Music videos and other media
Music videos
Interpol's music videos serve as visual extensions of their discography, often emphasizing shadowy, noir-inspired aesthetics that align with the band's brooding post-punk revival style, particularly in early works that evoke urban alienation and emotional tension.[45] These videos, primarily produced for singles, have been directed by a mix of established filmmakers and band members, premiering on platforms like MTV, YouTube, and the band's official channels, with thematic elements ranging from surreal narratives to performance-driven concepts.
