If you listen to olta and then switch to antics, the band sounds like they're playing inside a cardboard box in the latter

For example, I think that 'No I In Threesome' and 'Evil' are great songs. 'Evil' tends to have less going on at a given moment, but somehow sounds more crowded, and the vocals get more easily lost.

the new single sounds like what I imagined "Dave Fridmann producing Interpol" would sound like, and I like it more than most of the album

Weirdly I don't think this from the Marauder sessions - at the very least it was mixed separately / later on. Damn though. Really good song, maybe I'm just excited to hear them trying something new, with Paul's heavily distorted vox. Song goes a lot of places.

I was wrong, all these songs were recorded during the Marauder sessions. apparently they played "Real Life" a lot during the TOTBL anniversary tour.

PR:
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.
