Messy Eater, the new project from multi-disciplinary artist Pete Bott, delivers a genre-defying single that is fresh and yet feels beautifully familiar. Entitled "On The Right Track," the track is a blend of conscious hip-hop, alternative rock, and alternative dance, resulting in a soundscape that is both thought-provoking and irresistibly infectious. Already hailed by Plastic Mag as "infectiously grooving, instantly catchy and wonderful," the track encapsulates everything that separates Messy Eater's razor-sharp storytelling, cunning sampling techniques, and the defiant willingness to push boundaries.
Confidently entwining hypnotic rhythms and layered textures, "On The Right Track" pulls you into a soulful groove that gets your head nodding, while nudging you to think. "On The Right Track" is music that feels good in the moment, but also endures, asking you to lean in a little closer to the words, the mood, and the world it reflects. The result is a track that glistens just as bright on a crowded dance floor as it does in a late-night headphone session. The project itself originates from Bott's desire to combine music and artwork, creating a singular realm in its own right.
Having already been featured on BBC Radio 1's genre-melting alt-pop EP Messy Eater, this is a creative universe where satire, social commentary, and exploration collide. Fans of the Avalanches, Beck's "Odelay," and the Beastie Boys' "Paul's Boutique" will find a kindred spirit here. Like those pioneers, Messy Eater excels in the art of sampling and re-imagining, drawing dusty blues, southern soul, and vintage country sounds into the gravitational pull of modern hip-hop and alt-dance. With sly wordplay and innovative production and a pacing that never lets up, "On The Right Track" really is the perfect introduction to the world of Messy Eater. It's a song that makes clear Bott isn't just dabbling in genre but is a master at blending them to fashion something truly all his own. Guaranteed Messy Eater is headed in the right direction.
