INTERPOL - OUR LOVE TO ADMIRE

At first glance the cover looks like an image from National Geographic or a still from an Animal Planet documentary. On closer inspection you see that the animals are in-fact taxidermy. They were shot in the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. The cover and inside imagery are the work of New York photographer Seth Smoot. Most of the images are staged in a dry or cold landscape and depict harsh scenes from the animal world.

When asked about his collaboration with Interpol, Seth said:

“The Interpol project was a great collaboration; I enjoyed working with such a creatively decisive group of individuals. I’ve been fascinated by the classic diorama for quite a while, and was happy to have been given the opportunity to explore them more thoroughly with this project.”

Design for the album was provided by David Calderley.

One picture from Our Love To Admire’s booklet was suspiciously similar to just released Ola Podrida’s self-titled debut. It was just a funny case of “great minds think alike,” but despite their disparate sounds, there are other aspects that link them together.

On 17 November, team IMACS is going to see Interpol live in Milan. If you happen to be around from 16 to 18 November let us know in the comments section.
