**Mess Esque** is the atmospheric collaborative project between Australian musicians **Mick Turner** (of legendary instrumental trio Dirty Three) and **Helen Franzmann** (known for her work as McKisko). This genre-blurring duo crafts dreamy, textural soundscapes that meld Turner’s signature intricate guitar work with Franzmann’s hauntingly poetic vocals and experimental production. Their self-titled 2021 debut album*—*featuring tracks like “Take Me To Your Infinite Garden” and “Big Old Blue”*—*showcases a hypnotic mix of post-rock shimmer, lo-fi folk intimacy, and abstract lyricism, sounding like a shared diary of loose, improvisational magic. Fans of their work often praise how they balance Turner’s cinematic instrumentals with Franzmann’s ability to twist everyday phrases into surreal, emotionally resonant vignettes.
