Following the release of their recent single ‘Fine Mess’, NYC’s INTERPOL have announced a 5-track EP titled ‘A Fine Mess’ out Friday, 17th May 2019 on Matador / Remote Control Records. Along with the announcement, INTERPOL have released a new track ‘The Weekend’ out today.
Recorded during time spent in upstate New York with Dave Fridmann; the five songs that make up ‘A Fine Mess’ gradually emerged as a body of work with a narrative and flow unto itself. The title track, and BBC 6 Music-playlisted single ‘Fine Mess’; then received further production from Kaines & Tom A.D. and mixing from Claudius Mittendorfer; who had first worked with INTERPOL as engineer on ‘Our Love To Admire’. The resulting set is a living, breathing postcard from the band to their fans as they tour the world throughout 2019; and a linear continuation of the visceral and contagious energy set loose with Marauder.

Echoing its title, the artwork for ‘A Fine Mess’ is illustrated by a series of lost images, recovered from an abandoned police station in Detroit, MI. In a crumbling evidence room – amongst the rubble; an undeveloped roll of film, dated “1-20-96”, featured latent images of a breaking and entering scene, the rooms in chaos.
From the beguiling refrain of the title track, to the soulful topsy-turvy of ‘No Big Deal’; cathartic chorus of long sought-after live favourite ‘Real Life’; anthemic swell of ‘The Weekend’, and angular shades of ‘Thrones’; ‘A Fine Mess’ is a bracing and distinct entry in Interpol’s oeuvre.
Following recent headline performances at Sydney Opera House, Madison Square Garden, Hollywood Bowl and a double header at Royal Albert Hall; INTERPOL will continue their worldwide run of dates with festival appearances at Glastonbury, Primavera, All Points East with The Strokes, Best Kept Secret; headline dates across South and North America, the UK and Europe, with more announcements to follow.
