Antics is the second album by New York City-based band Interpol, released on September 28 2004 (see 2004 in music). Although more confident than its predecessor, Turn on the Bright Lights, it largely repeats the same formula of sparse arrangement driven by bass throb and strong drums, with powerful, evocative lyrics sung in a resonant, mordant voice by vocalist Paul Banks and intricate guitar lines.
The album was reissued in August 2005 in the United States with a bonus disc that contained four remixes by the band, a b-side, and the videos for all three singles.
