The band has occasionally lived through rather quiet periods but kept releasing new material over the years. The vocalist, Paul Banks, released his solo album debut as Julian Plenti
Julian Plenti Is... Skyscraper with a more art pop styled sound, and has released his second solo album under own name,
Paul Banks (2012) - a combination of post-punk revival and art pop, thus embracing the styles embraced by Interpol
and his first solo release.
