The indie rock band whose 2004 album “Antics” features the song “Evil” is Interpol.
“Antics” is Interpol’s second studio album, released by Matador Records on September 27, 2004. Recorded at Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport, Connecticut, it was produced by Peter Katis and became the New York band’s commercial breakthrough.
“Evil” appears as the second track on the album and was released as its second single on January 3, 2005. Its memorable chorus and stark post-punk atmosphere helped make it one of Interpol’s best-known songs, alongside “Slow Hands,” “C’mere,” and “Narc.”
Listeners sometimes associate “Evil” with another post-punk revival group because Interpol shared a scene and era with bands such as Editors and The National. The album identification removes that ambiguity: “Antics” is an Interpol record, and “Evil” is part of its original ten-song sequence. The album later earned gold certification in the United States.
