Band: MESSINESS
Who: Psychedelic Italian team, born in the shadows of Milan’s fashion district.
They walk a deliberately unfashionable path and orbit around Sicilian polymath Massimiliano Raffa, musician, sociologist, and writer.
Track: PREVIOUS LIFE
First piece from their upcoming debut album, planned for an Autumn release.
Press info: The song transforms nostalgia into a commodity, mapping out a non-existent past instead of longing for real memories. It portrays the present as a sensory overload and an unsustainable hyperreality for an empty generation, while proposing an escape into an imaginary era where absence becomes a luxury and presence is elevated.
The refrain, “I’m making plans for my previous life,” functions as a mantra of the digital age, underscoring the absurdity of planning for the future while idealizing a past that was never truly lived.
TUTV: I’m pretty sure that Messiness know all key records of 60s psychedelic luminaries such as Jefferson Airplane, The Byrds, 13th Floor Elevators and The Sonics, but also modern day psych-pop-rock acts such as The Black Angels, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols. Previous Life echoes this timeless genre with boisterous brio and glamorous gusto. Back to the future.
Top-tier debut!
