Following the heels of last year’s acclaimed Marauder and their recently announced new EP, A Fine Mess (and its singles “The Weekend ” and “Fine Mess ”), Interpol is excited to share that they will tour as a package with Morrissey, playing major US markets this fall. 

Kicking off on September 5^th, the tour begins at DC’s Merriweather Post Pavilion.  From there, Interpol and Moz will make their way through the Northeast, including a hometown stop at NYC’s Forest Hills Stadium, followed by the Midwest, Southwest, and West Coast, culminating at San Diego’s Pechanga Arena on October 6^th.  Tickets go on-sale this Friday, April 12th at 10am local time and the full list of tour dates can be found below.

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 previously released title track, “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 favorite “Real Life,” anthemic swell of “The Weekend ,” and angular shades of “Thrones,” A Fine Mess is a bracing and distinct addition to Interpol’s oeuvre.
