Two old synths, a drum kit, a guitar, a sampler and lots of air. That is how one-man project Messy Shelter composes his touching songs, which paint pictures of inner turmoil. The style is sombre and dark, while the anatomy of the songs is cryptic. With jumping, stumbling beats and an occasionally repetitive and electronic drive Messy Shelter’s minimalistic compositions evoke associations to Radiohead’s “Kid A” and “In Rainbows”.
