Album of the Week: Julian Plenti is…Skyscraper

Julian Plenti – Julian Plenti is…Skyscraper

Paul Banks is the lead singer of the indie rock band Interpol.  He released his first solo effort in August of last year under the pseudonym Julian Plenti.  If you’re familiar with Interpol, you’ll find that Banks doesn’t deviate much from their sound, but Skyscraper is a little more experimental and not quite as rock-driven.  His sound has a droning quality which, at its best, can build into some great musical climaxes.  From start to finish it’s a really enjoyable record.  Some standouts are “Only if You Run,” “Games for Days” and “On the Esplanade.” Enjoy.
