Previous Life’ is the first single from the upcoming debut album by the Milan-based psychedelic act Messiness, set to be released in autumn 2025 via StoneFree Records (LP) and Tarla Records (Digital).

Parodically referencing the classics of psychedelic rock, ‘Previous Life’ transforms nostalgia into a commodity, mapping out a non-existent past instead of longing for real memories. It portrays the present as a sensory overload and an unsustainable hyperreality for an empty generation, while proposing an escape into an imaginary era where absence becomes a luxury and presence is elevated. The refrain, "I'm making plans for my previous life," functions as a mantra of the digital age, underscoring the absurdity of planning for the future while idealizing a past that was never truly lived.

BIOGRAPHY

Born in the shadows of Milan’s fashion district, Messiness walks a deliberately unfashionable path. The band orbits around Sicilian polymath Massimiliano Raffa – musician, sociologist, and writer joined by sonic wanderers from the city's underground. Messiness crafts an explosive postmodern fusion where psychedelic rock collides with space-funk, free jazz interleaves with baroque pop and Canterbury sound meshes with art rock. Their distinctive Mediterranean spirit infuses the music with rich textures drawn from traditional Eastern Mediterranean sounds, creating an eclectic mix that defies any categorisation, creating an eclectic mix that defies any categorisation. Messiness' debut album will be released by StoneFree Records in collaboration with Tarla Records, an independent record label based in Istanbul, Turkey.
