Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Antics is the second studio album by American post-punk revival band Interpol, released in September 2004. The album went on to sell 488,000 copies in the U.S. and over 100,000 in the UK. It made the top 10 list of several music critics for the year of 2004.
Morse code is used in several places throughout the album's packaging, continuing the nautical themes found in a few of the tracks' lyrics ("Take You on a Cruise", "Public Pervert", "A Time To Be So Small"). Code for the word "antics" is used on the back panel of the slipcase, as well as in the booklet; other words included in code are "length", "narc", "cruise", and "exit". Photography of the band used in the interior of the album was produced by Ami Barwell.
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.
Antics was certified gold by the RIAA on April 1, 2009.
