About This Track
'Tidal Wave' by Interpol is an alternative track from the album 'El Pintor' (2014). The lyrics move between impatience and anticipation, framing days as a kind of waiting room while the speaker tries to keep hold of feeling. There is a sense of approach, “a flow coming soon”, alongside images of admiration and a sweet, almost performed serenade. The photo booth detail adds a fleeting, remembered encounter, ending on a cropped trail of thought that keeps the urgency going rather than resolving it.
"Tidal Wave" is a track by Interpol, from the album El Pintor, released 8th September 2014. The track is 4:18 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 15 articles about Interpol.
