I was experiencing so much pain being in the band, being in the music industry, he told Talk Music Talk. I have to admit that I couldnt help but to feel that the band was constraining a creative impulse.

Frontman Paul Bank also said Dengler was 'an asshole' but 'a genius'. Dengler later made his musical comeback during when he made an appearance playing bass on Late Night With Seth Myers.
Interpol are said to be working on the follow-up to 2014's 'El Pintor', while Banks is touring his collaborative album with Wu Tang's RZA - 'Anything But Words' by Banks & Steelz.
