Stella and The Messy Band Release Latest Single “Big Familiar”

Stella and the Very Messed have unveiled their latest single, “Big Familiar,” ahead of their upcoming album of the same name set to release on September 19th via Double Helix Records. The song serves as a bittersweet ode to the lead singer Stella Maxwell’s hometown and the complex emotions tied to memories and personal growth.

Maxwell shares that “Big Familiar” delves into the melancholy associated with revisiting one’s past, particularly when it involves distancing oneself from familial connections that are no longer serving one’s best interests. The track captures a poignant blend of Maxwell’s emotionally charged lyrics and raw vocals, backed by a powerful instrumental arrangement reminiscent of bands like Paramore and Veruca Salt.

The band, consisting of Maxwell, David Hawkins, Chris Nine, Mohadev, and Sam Rich, has worked with producers Michael Landon and Andrew Oedel to create an album that showcases their depth and emotional range. Maxwell emphasizes that while their music is catchy and melodic, it also delves into deeper themes and complexities, refusing to be pigeonholed into a specific genre or style.

With “Big Familiar,” Stella and the Very Messed invite listeners into a world of contradiction, where sadness and vulnerability are transformed into anthemic expressions of self-discovery and growth. The track sets the tone for their upcoming album, which promises to explore themes of memory, identity, and the process of letting go while staying true to oneself.

Fans of cathartic indie rock with a touch of wit and boldness will find a unique voice in Stella and the Very Messed. Their music defies easy categorization, offering a refreshing take on introspective songwriting and energetic instrumentation. “Big Familiar” is now available on all streaming platforms, offering a glimpse into the emotional depth and artistic vision of a band that is unafraid to push boundaries and explore the complexities of the human experience.
