Sam Forgarino from Interpol Has a New Project Called EmptyMansions With A New Album + STREAM

Sam Fogarino of Interpol is moving forward with a new project called EmptyMansions ... there's a new album titled snakes/vultures/sulfate coming out sometime in April on Riot House Records. Check out the Thurston Moore-influenced vocals on the song "Lyra" below ... there's a bit of a Sonic Youth and noise influence here -- it's definitely different than the tightly proccessed Interpol workouts. This feels more loose and free flowing. EmptyMansions includes Duane Denison on guitar from Jesus Lizard and according to its press release has a wide range of influences: "Sam drew upon classic heavyweights; Neil Young (The closing track on snakes is a cover of "Down By The River"), The Stones, Zeppelin—filtered through his affinity with the likes of Sonic Youth and Pixies."
