Edit history

This Mess are an electronica duo who weave rich vocals and live instrumentation with intricately programmed beats and samples. Their fanciful layering of colours and improvised performances forge a kaleidoscope of sound that could only be This Mess. Since their fiery beginnings in 2012, This Mess have already shared the stage with luminaries such as Sneaky Sound System, Polographia, Goldfields and Ganga Giri. They have also been embraced by the Australian festival scene playing at large scale events including Dragon Dreaming, Harmonize and Regrowth Festival. Their debut EP, released in November and mastered by Dave Cooley, engineer for the likes of MF Doom and J Dilla, has been warmly received by Australian radio being played on stations such as Triple J Unearthed and FBi Radio. The release also generated much acclaim from music blogs, both local and international, and was dubbed "a testament to the validity in the rising genre of chillwave" by Australian music website Tone Deaf.
