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 number 101 on the UK Albums Chart, [10] and number 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 number 41 on the UK Singles Chart. [13] After two years, the band released Antics in 2004. The album debuted at number fifteen in the US, [11] and in the top ten on the Irish Albums Chart. [14] The album's second single "Evil" peaked at number eighteen 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]
