Victorian alt-country act Jeremy Beggs has gotten me pretty excited for his debut album with the release of his latest single “Mess I’m In.” It’s not one of those buzzy singles. I can almost guarantee you won’t hear it on radio, but it’s fantastic. If you care more about lyrics and organic instrumentation than big production and beats, I know you’ll love it too.
“‘Mess I’m In’ is about that moment when you realise that, despite how clever you thought you were, how good you were at hiding it, and how long you thought you could keep ignoring it, everyone can already see what’s going on,” Jeremy admitted. “Whether it’s relationships, challenges at work, or life in general, sometimes you discover that people saw it before you were ready to admit it yourself. And then comes that quiet but powerful moment of acceptance — oh well, I don’t have to pretend anymore. You’ve seen what’s going on and you’re still here, prepared to sit with me, understand, and walk the path forward together. Strap in, because it’s going to get a little wild.”
Jeremy’s debut album The Long Road will drop on May 14. He’s announced a string of shows around his home state to support its release, so get on to them!
