The Mess:Age, fresh off a collaboration with Steven Ellison, a.k.a. Flying Lotus, on the 33-tracker, CAMBO, issues his return with the new single, "HIS RETURN." A gripping mix of smash-mouth rock and end-times storytelling, it is as urgent as it is exhilarating, a harbinger and battle cry all at once. Motivated by the harrowing wildfires in California and Hawaii and the catastrophic floods in North Carolina, Ziggy taps into the visceral emotion of the moment with a song that calls for attention, contemplation, and action.
From the first searing guitar riff, "HIS RETURN" grabs you with a high-energy, intense sound. Thunderous drums crash like waves of reckoning while Ziggy's impassioned vocals slice through disorder and better serve as the voice of warning and the hope of redemption. The production of "HIS RETURN" is the right mix of raw grit and polished precision to ensure its urgent message is something you hear and feel.
"HIS RETURN" tells a strikingly vivid story of disaster and consequence, forcing listeners to reckon with the weight of their choices. It's a summons, a dare to see beyond the noise of everyday existence and recognize the forces at work. Ziggy does not only sing. He evangelizes, lighting a fuse inside that you cannot ignore.
Fuck this story, but with its unapologetic intensity and its fearlessness, "HIS RETURN" solidifies The Mess:Age as a band to be reckoned with. This is not just music. It's a movement. And as those final chords fade, one thing is obvious: It's time to listen.
