Just six months after releasing their sixth studio album Marauder, Interpol is already back with some new music. This time, the American rockers will present it via an EP called A Fine Mess, which is scheduled for release May 17.
The band already released a title-track earlier this year, and have now followed that with the second single “The Weekend.” Hear both songs below.
Interpol recorded the songs for A Fine Mess during Marauder sessions they did in late 2017 with legendary producer Dave Fridmann.
“We had the idea of the EP to be a separate batch of songs to be part of this whole campaign,” the band’s frontman Paul Banks told NME. “We’ve refined the material since then. It’s not like ‘Marauder songs on the EP’, it was always supposed to be a separate EP and a body of work in its own right.”
“It’s a good way to interact with fans these days. In hip-hop they put out mixtapes between records and it’s a good method. We’re engaged and active right now so it’s good to double down and turn the party up a notch.” – he added.
