Billboard.com is reporting, via a mysterious posting on Matador’s blog, that Interpol’s lead singer / guitarist and lyricist Paul Banks is readying a quasi-solo album.

Banks has apparently written and performed under the Plenti moniker for several years, and whilst the album was recorded recently, some of the songs were written more than several years ago.
