I usually don't like listening to a band's output in reverse chronological order, but it doesn't always work out that way. Last year I got into The Messthetics after a brief chat with Nico, and I picked up their 2nd LP, 'Anthropocosmic Nest', from a UK distro simply because they had it in stock at a good price. Well, my recent Dischord order I made sure to also pick up their first LP which was repressed on clear vinyl (the first pressing was black, following that familiar Dischord pattern).
This record was released in 2018, and this colour repress followed five years later. I'm kinda glad I wasn't into this band from the get go and waiting five years for this beautiful looking clear version to appear.
As I mentioned before, this band features two members of Fugazi (plus someone else) playing instrumental tunes, and in my opinion this album is better than the second one. This is perfect for anyone who works a desk job and needs some music to kill the silence that's energetic and interesting, but who also doesn't want something that's gonna make them get so pumped that they want to stage dive from their desk.
