Messy Eater – “I’m A Mess Right Now”

I just enjoy Messy Eater’s new track “I’m A Mess Right Now” from their debut ‘Starters’ EP. Drenched in ’90s US indie vibes, this anthem hits just the right nostalgic notes while feeling utterly fresh. The genius behind Messy Eater, Pete Bott, starts with a groovy retro drum machine layered with a sampled clavinet to create a sound that’s both eclectic and catchy.

The lyrics sparkle with dry humor, capturing the everyday messiness of life with lines like, “I’m just skin and bones with a bubblegum brain / waiting here for the gravy train / but it ain’t coming anytime soon”. The fuzzed-up slide guitar and roomy, live drums kick in and you’re swept into a rousing chorus that’s impossible not to sing along to. If you like quirky, genre-bending tunes with a sense of humor, follow Messy Eater on Instagram, and don’t forget to add “I’m A Mess Right Now” to your Spotify playlist.
