Riff: Interpol – “Anywhere”

Sep 9, 2014

We tried to engage/Softened up by peace/At least I had my taste/Of the nightlife

from Anywhere lyrics by Interpol

Presumably showing appreciation for both vets and the freedom they provide, it’s delivered with characteristic vagueness and riffs that wander without a home or destination. Others may hear yearning depth here, but I’m mostly getting melodic aimlessness to match Banks’ wanderlust self-description.
