“Messy Eater’s new EP “Southern Fried” is one of those projects that grabs you right away with its originality. His style is playful but also deeply thought-out, pulling together pieces of blues, dream pop and disco in a way that feels completely fresh.” Review on Cheers to the Vikings
“A dusty, groove-laden slow-burner, ‘All Out Of Time’ blends hip hop beats with crackly organ stabs, harmonica hooks and tongue-in-cheek reflections on modern consumption.” Review on FLEX
“It’s a project that turns pop into playground, piecing together mismatched sonic fragments into something dazzling, unpredictable and entirely his own.” Review on Plastic Mag
“Southern Fried is both compelling and irresistible, a five-track collection designed to satisfy every craving for a bold and flavorful record.” Review on Right Chord Music
“To craft his distinct sound, Pete Bott, the man behind Messy Eater, draws on the likes of Beck, The Avalanches, The Dust Brothers’ and The Beastie Boys. The result is beautifully offbeat. Quirky samples meet memorable melodies; nostalgia meets modern pop.” Review on York Calling
