Messier has returned with their new single, “Baskervilles. " This captivating track explores feelings of anxiety and uncertainty through its swirling guitars and haunting melodies. It is part of their upcoming album, Stream of Guilty Consciousness, which will be released soon. It captures the common struggle of overthinking in an intense and emotional way.
The duo of Lauri Huumonen and Antti Orajärvi has earned recognition for taking indie rock in new and unexpected directions. Their first album, On Malaise, released in 2021, showcased their unique ability to blend chaotic sounds with beautiful moments. Their latest album is exploring our inner thoughts deeper, pairing complex music with powerful lyrics.
Huumonen explains that "Baskervilles" perfectly illustrates the themes of their new album. He notes, “It’s about how we sabotage our peace of mind by always expecting the worst and how catastrophizing becomes an addiction.”
The song transitions through eerie sounds, intense guitar bursts, and an underlying tone of sadness. It shifts unexpectedly, sometimes holding back and at other times unleashing a full-on sonic storm, reflecting the way anxious thoughts can spiral out of control. The result is a memorable song that sticks with you long after it ends, blending feelings of dread with beauty.
