Sweetspot from Mess Esque by Mess Esque

Mick clutches at the neck of the guitar, rubbing notes out from within his chords, spraying them into the obsession-charged air, where they melt as the object of desire comes closer. Like Hope Sandoval at Mazzy Star’s false dawn, Helen whispers and coos with release as her moment arrives. A carnal lullaby among ballads; and the lovers shall rock.

Mess Esque coalesce from ripples of guitar and shudders of emotion into the bumps and grooves of songs with biologic inevitability. Mick Turner’s aquatic guitar moods are met where they live and breathe by the vocals and dream imagery of Helen Franzmann aka McKisko, causing nights, moons, low tides and empty landscapes to simmer with raw passion.
