Interpol Release 'Twice As Hard' Video
. The group's singer, Paul Banks, directed the clip. In it, several boxers take to the ring to practice their craft. There is no storyline, but the piece is a study in light and motion. It is an intellectual exercise wrapped in the colors of something much simpler than it is and, thus, of the Interpol aesthetic. It's a good work around for a song whose lyrics could easily prompt a visual that is too on the nose. A film noir of a disasterous romance would have been too obvious. At times the rapid-fire punching paired with the lyrics, "Twice as hard / I give it right back to you," can feel overt but the alternative makes it clear this was a smart choice.
