A Fine Mess is the eighth extended play by American rock band Interpol. It was released on May 17, 2019, through Matador Records. It contains five songs that were recorded during the sessions for their previous studio album, Marauder (2018), but did not make its final cut. Like Marauder, A Fine Mess was produced by Dave Fridmann, while the song "Fine Mess" was co-produced by Claudius Mittendorfer and received additional production from Kaines and Tom A. D. Fuller.[3] The song "Real Life" was first performed live during their Turn On the Bright Lights XV anniversary tour in 2017.[4] "Fine Mess" and "The Weekend" were released as singles prior to the EP's release.
