{"product_id":"interpol-fine-mess-cd","title":"Interpol – Fine Mess (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterpol recorded this five-song set in the same creative window as their 2018 full-length Marauder, working with producer Dave Fridmann, whose resume spans Mercury Rev and the Flaming Lips. The collaboration signals a continued commitment to a rawer, more immediate sound than the polished chambers of their earlier work, keeping the band in a productive live-to-studio mode as they carried these songs directly into their touring set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecorded 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 \u0026amp; 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. “Interpol are back with ignited energy” -Stereogum “Interpol seems to have become an entirely new band, as evidenced by the energy, songcraft and un- expected warmth of their new album” -Rolling Stone “Bristling intensity—the most commanding and forceful music Interpol has released in well over a decade” -Newsweek “Interpol has become a genuine legacy band, cultivating a robust following stateside and abroad that has stayed loyal no matter the changing winds of the outside indie rock world” -Uproxx\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Fine Mess (3:15)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. No Big Deal (3:49)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Real Life (4:26)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. The Weekend (3:04)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Thrones (3:12)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 744861143123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matador Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.17.19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48802314485915,"sku":"28753","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-interpol-fine-mess-cd-relix.jpg?v=1782097256","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/interpol-fine-mess-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
