Interpol - first single from upcoming album

“The Heimlich Maneuver” is the first single off Interpol’s upcoming album Our Love to Admire (out July 10) and you can check it out right now on AOL’s Spinner right here.

In typical Interpol style, the album's open "Pioneer to the Falls" is slower, moody and ... well, fantastic. (There are a few decent YouTube vids of it played live.) Guitarist Sam Fogarino is quoted saying the track is "sub mid-tempo, kind of dirgey."

I didn't know what dirgey meant, so I looked it up. Technically, it's not a word. But dirge is a slow, solemn, mournful piece of music especially to accompany a funeral or memorial. Beautiful. Love it.

July 10 can't come soon enough.
