Interpol shares a new video for ‘Passenger’, one of the highlights from their critically acclaimed latest album The Other Side of Make-Believe (Matador), out now. The video came to be unexpected – longstanding Interpol fan Jamie McDonald had been experimenting with animation and produced the video on their own, feeling a special connection with the song. After uploading it to one of Interpol’s social pages, the video came to the attention of the band who loved it and asked if they could use it as an official video. 

Director Jamie McDonald says: “Passenger spoke to me. As soon as I listened to it, I was inspired. The idea behind the music video visually is that of a fever dream. We’re exploring the subconscious, delving into dreams, and delving even deeper into nightmares. This is really a passion project for me.”

Earlier in October, Interpol performed in Austin, TX as part of this year’s Formula 1 USGP at Circuit of the Americas. November will see Interpol playing stadiums and outdoor parks in South America on tour with Arctic Monkeys and playing bill-toping slots at Primavera Sound Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires, Sao Paolo, and Kilkfest Paraguay.
