New music and illustration project Messy Eater releases debut ‘Starters’ EP on Nutritious Sounds on 21 February.

Messy Eater is the brand new music and illustration project from Pete Bott, whose previous projects have been supported by NME, The Guardian, Notion and BBC Radio 1.  

Growing up on a diet of mixtape culture and genre-agnostic electicism, Messy Eater lives in a world of "anything goes" melodic songwriting and kaleidoscopic sampledelica.  Drawing comparisons with Gorillaz, Beck, Talking Heads and The Avalanches, Messy Eater combines the flavours of wry lyrical observations on modern life with irresistible hooks and a unique self-produced sound.

The ‘Starters’ EP perfectly showcases Messy Eater’s widescreen imagination, playful lyrical commentary and irrepressible melodies. This has already caught the attention of BBC Introducing, who have invited Messy Eater for a live session and interview ahead of the EP’s release.

‘Starters’ includes debut single, ‘Feels Good’ (“vibrant sonic cuisine... boundary-dissolving alchemy” (Sinusoidal Music), "genre-bending songwriting... with irresistible hooks" (Lost In The Manor)), second single, ‘I’m A Mess Right Now’ (“infectiously catchy and highly original” (Plastic Magazine), “delightfully chaotic and playful…brilliant” (Unrecorded)), the new single ‘Work Life Balance' and unreleased lead track ‘Shake It, Drop It’.

The Messy Eater taste is for joyous, vibrant and celebratory sounds. Get your bib on!
