"Barricade" was the first taste of Interpol's self-titled fourth album, a lead single Matador sent out on August 3, 2010. It gave the band their fourth appearance on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, topping out at No. 39.
The video, directed by Moh Azima and shot at Floyd Bennett Airfield in Brooklyn, went up on the band's Facebook page later that month. It keeps things cool and stylized: Daniel Kessler and Sam Fogarino playing into mirrors, Paul Banks delivering the vocal before a projector, the band watching itself as much as the camera.
