Anthropocosmic Nest

Anthropocosmic Nest is the second album by The Messthetics.[4] Unlike their debut album which was recorded after having only been together for a short while, this album was recorded after a great deal of touring.[4] Pirog estimates the band played about 200 gigs and therefore had a chance to perform the songs live for a while before recording them.[5]

Reception

Justin Cober-Lake of Spectrum Culture praised the album saying it "finds new ways to blend a hard rock rhythm with more outre approaches to jazz guitar" but felt that the album ran a little long.[2] Vish Khanna of Exclaim! called the album "dynamic" and said it outdid their debut.[3]

The album was featured in Bandcamp's "The Best Punk on Bandcamp" for September 2019.[6]
