{"product_id":"anthropocosmic-nest","title":"Anthropocosmic Nest","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnthropocosmic Nest \u003c\/i\u003eis the second full-length by Washington, D.C.’s The Messthetics, who are Anthony Pirog, Joe Lally, and Brendan Canty. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormed in 2016 the Messthetics are Anthony Pirog, Joe Lally, and Brendan Canty. Pirog is a jazz and experimental guitarist based in Washington, D.C. One half of the duo Janel and Anthony, he also performs regularly with Low Ways Quartet and James Brandon Lewis. Canty and Lally were the rhythm section of the band Fugazi from its inception in 1987 to its period of hiatus in 2002. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince then, Canty has remained active as a documentary filmmaker, producer, and composer, and released a music as a member of the band Deathfix. Lally has released three solo albums and toured extensively with a frequently-rotating cast of musicians. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded at the band’s practice space throughout 2019, it’s an album that more perfectly captures the trio’s current live dynamic, complete with improvisational tangents, playful experimentation, and cathartic sprawl. When The Messthetics recorded their debut album in 2017, the trio had only done a handful of shows and had yet to fully find its footing on stage. In a way, those compositions were a template for the band that Pirog, Lally, and Canty hoped would come into being through subsequent work on the road. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince then, The Messthetics have played upwards of 200 shows across the US, Europe and Asia. Their dialog as a performing unit has necessarily focused and intensified. As a result, \u003ci\u003eAnthropocosmic Nest\u003c\/i\u003e offers a more varied vision of the band. It’s the loudest the trio has ever been and also the quietest. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dischord","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50507028005195,"sku":"1071364","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/1fb290a4-493a-463f-a864-b17d78fedf14_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727837214","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/anthropocosmic-nest","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
