Now, when it comes to a sound that is bound to have us glued, there is nothing quite like THE MESS: AGE. With roots in the vibrant city of London, the group’s powerful essence is driven by the incomparable, magnetic frontman Glen Brandon “Ziggy”. His mere presence defines captivating charisma in the fullest sense. Complementing his work with his incredible rhythm and groove are the legendary bass player Paul Gold (famous for his work with X Two Tribes) and guitar genius Jaime Page (of Trilogy and Dark Universe). It would be an understatement to say that with their signature fusion of rock and celestial artistry, they create living musical universes. It took us ages to get over “Sacrifice”, their song and video, an incredibly positive piece of art that left an everlasting impression in our hearts. But the best always comes back. This time on the 31st of July, they blessed our speakers yet again with the mesmerizing “LIGHT OF BLUE ‘Sugar Ocean Girl'”. Let’s unravel its mysterious charm together.
From the beginning, the song features an intense soundscape of splashing waves and seagulls flying away in the distance, immersing you immediately in the scene before the beautiful and enchanting melody of a piano carries you in. Just as you begin to get used to the soothing atmosphere created by the song, it takes you by surprise with a burst of pure audio energy that rocks and electrifies you in the best possible way. It is an incredible cinematic introduction that lets you know how amazing this journey is going to be.
Selected from the brilliant sophomore studio album, AGE OF MESS, this song is a beautiful, sun-soaked, ocean-infused commercial pop-rock tune that simply flows over you with stunning ease. However, beneath its catchy and breezy surface lies an incredibly illuminating beat. It is an invigorating call to action, which urges us to join hands and stand up against the lies of indifference towards our environment, while reflecting on the holy vibration of “God’s Ozone” – the mystical LIGHT OF BLUE. The thing is that our environment is truly being spoiled in front of our very eyes, and there is no time anymore to be ignorant about the problem. We have just one home, just one universe to live in, and if we fail to muster the courage to make a drastic change now, all our treasures will be gone for good. It is a stark reminder that whatever the world tries to impose on us, we have to anchor in the positive vibes and keep our minds in tune with the highest frequency to channel the divine LIGHT FROM WITHIN – the good vibes and the LIGHT OF BLUE.
In the case of an entity as unique as THE MESS: AGE, recording becomes more than a mere technical procedure – it is alchemy. To be completely candid here, there is either a work of art or no work at all when it comes to recordings, and none else in this world can come close to sounding like them. Attempting to capture their approach to recordings and their tricks in the studio is completely irrelevant here because not all magic can be shared with the rest of the world.
THE MESS: AGE has once again managed to stun me with another stunning, culturally rich piece of art that only serves to reconfirm their status as one of the greatest forces in today’s music scene. What we have here is not just an artistic expression; this is a message, a purposeful stand, and an inspiring call to arms, a call to action to rise and claim back our consciousness. With every single note of this song, I find myself mesmerized by the daring and creativity present in this release. It takes your breath away and puts you right at the edge of a great discovery and naturally makes you ask the most important question: where are they going to take us next? And knowing their creative limits, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the next one is going to be even better.
