Interpol have announced Interpolations – a project to be released over the coming months, which sees songs from the band’s latest album, The Other Side Of Make-Believe reworked by a group of artists including Daniel Avery, Makaya McCraven, Jeff Parker, Jesu and Water From Your Eyes.

The first instalment of the series is released today, with Makaya McCraven’s interpolation of “Big Shot City”.

Of the project, Interpol say: “We are proud to unveil the Interpolations project, a collaborative series wherein 5 talented artists were invited to reimagine tracks from our latest album, The Other Side Of Make-Believe - and the results are truly inspired.

From the Latin drum and bass rhythms applied to “Big Shot City” by Makaya McCraven to the esoteric and propulsive soundscape created by Water From Your Eyes for “Something Changed,” Interpolations is an exotic journey that reframes our songs and joins them to the vision of talented artists we admire."

In addition, a mini documentary by photographer and frequent collaborator Atiba Jefferson, filmed when the band recorded The Other Side Of Make Believe in November 2021 in London’s Battery Studio, sees its first official release following its initial debut as part of the Big Shot City album release event in LA.
