Riff: Interpol – “Twice as Hard”

Sep 9, 2014

All those nights of many lights, fall away/Like the beautiful hours/These are all of my creations

from Twice as Hard lyrics by Interpol

Suckers for odd-time unite. And not just because it’s “twice as hard” to play. It takes this laid-back, Bernard Purdie shuffle beat come to life, as well as the rest of the track. It doesn’t quite keep the magic for the entire five minutes, though.
