MESSY EATER BRINGS US TASTEFULLY PLAYFUL NEW TRACK ‘SLOWCOACH’ THE FIRST SINGLE OFF HIS SOPHOMORE EP ‘SOUTHERN FRIED’

Messy Eater’s latest track, Slowcoach, is a brilliantly unique blend of alternative and country. Showcasing just how refreshingly different the modern music landscape can be.

Right from the first beat, there’s a distinct tone, unpolished in the best way. The vocals, delivered in a walkie-talkie style, add texture to the song. The track holds a steady pace throughout, staying consistent in its rhythm and mood, which reflects the lyrical content with thoughtful precision.

The lyrics reflect a firm rejection of the rat race, choosing instead a life lived deliberately in the slow lane. It’s a statement against constant hustle culture, opting for simplicity, control, and a more intentional pace.

Midway through, Messy Eater takes a subtle turn with the track. Electronic, vocoder vocals weave into the mix, introducing a futuristic layer that enhances the atmosphere. It’s a clever addition, keeping the listener engaged into the track.

The closing section introduces female vocals with an instrumental arrangement that sounds like a machine powering down, matching the song’s overarching theme.

Slowcoach ends with a fade-out, something rare in modern music but used here to perfection. It gives the feeling of the song simply drifting away, not abruptly ending, and it’s a touch I absolutely love. Let’s bring back the fade-out!

Slowcoach is an incredible example of how experimental elements can still feel deeply human. The track is a slow burn that rewards patient listeners, and it’s one of those songs you find yourself coming back to, uncovering new layers with every listen. He has created something that lingers and something completely grounded. We’ve added the track to our ‘All New Music’ playlist.
