In January 2004, when Interpol performed "Slow Hands" on "Later... with Jools Holland," the band was experiencing the height of their early career, following the release of their critically acclaimed album, "Antics." Released in September 2004, "Antics" showcased the band's distinctive post-punk revival sound and was a significant follow-up to their debut album, "Turn on the Bright Lights." The performance on Jools Holland's show was pivotal, as it provided substantial exposure to a wider audience and highlighted the band's growing popularity in the alternative rock scene. Interestingly, "Slow Hands" became a fan favorite, embodying the brooding yet melodic style that characterized Interpol’s music during this period, further solidifying their reputation as a leading force in the early 2000s rock revival. The combination of their aesthetic, sound, and live performances contributed to the lasting impact they made during this phase of their career.
