Lost In Alphaville's release is coming up QUICK (August 26), and we couldn't be more excited to have The Rentals as part of the Polyvinyl family. Read Noisey's in-depth interview that spans "the course of several months, breakfasts, concerts and phone calls." You'll find out about a crazy encore performance with We Are Scientists, who he would bring on a deserted island (hint: they're adorable and collaborated on the album), and how Patrick Carney influenced things.
