Meso by Project Mishram
Meso, or “middle” was the name we landed on when we had to reach middle ground while trying to name an album that had no common ground to begin with. From a song inspired off a cup of filter coffee to a song based on changing seasons, to our own gut-punch reimagination of an ancient Carnatic composition, each song uses different soundscapes and core ideas, with little to no regard for coherence across the tracks. The absence of a single thread across our songs ended up being the glue that held it together. Mishram's target aesthetic all along is that there is none.
