"Narc" sits on Interpol's 2004 album Antics, and it finds the band loosening the black tie just a notch: the guitars still glint and circle, but there's a warmer pulse under the gloom and a melody that actually wants to be sung back.
The songwriting credit goes to all four of them, Paul Banks, Carlos Dengler, Samuel Fogarino and Daniel Kessler, and Peter Katis recorded and mixed it, with Greg Giorgio assisting on both, keeping every part crisp and cold as an empty subway platform after midnight.
