There is this artist out in Seattle who goes by the name of Mesita that we talked about a couple of times last year for his songs “Living/Breathing” and “Jet Trails” – both of which are representative of his overall style – acoustic tracks layered with piano, falsetto and handclaps. (I also talked to him about food when my girlfriend and I were out in Seattle last summer. Peso’s. Fantastic food.) Anyway, his music is shimmering and summery, and with the heat that’s descended upon a great swath of the country, Mesita’s songs serve as a nice reprieve from the stifling humidity.
Not too long ago we were sent a new track from him, and as it turns out, it’s from an album he released back in March called Here’s To Nowhere. (I’ve obviously been slacking.) Called “Somewhere Else,” the song is another example of what Mesita can do best: reel the listener in with the basics – in this case, voice and a guitar, before dropping the drums in later. Things don’t always need to be overly complex to be good.
Here’s To Nowhere, along with a previous EP (Living/Breathing) are both available at Mesita’s Bandcamp page, and you can own them for $6 apiece. Here’s To Nowhere is also available in physical form as well, limited to 50 handmade copies. If you head to his website, there are a couple of older releases available for free as well.
Right now his Summer 2011 tour dates reads “Coming Soon” so be on the watch for those dates as well.

Mesita is busy up in Seattle, composing spritely, excellent music in his apartment. We’ve talked about his music before, when we finally listened to his then-new song “
The name Mesita seems like it should mean more than what I can find. A quick Google search reveals that it’s either a place in Colorado or New Mexico; since the artist who has taken the name is from Colorado, I’m guessing it refers to the former. This, of course, is wild speculation on my part.
