Interpol frontman Paul Banks new 5-track EP Julian Plenti Lives… is out today via Matador/Rhythmethod, ahead of an album due later in the year.

Available digitally, the EP was released on a limited edition run of CD & vinyl copies and marks the first time Paul Banks has chosen to use his own name to release music by.
