Maxwell Varey wrestles with anxiety on his new single 'Messin' Around'
The track has become a live favourite, with production by John Foyle (FKA twigs, Sampha, Blur).

Maxwell Varey has released his new single 'Messin' Around' via One House.
The track follows his recent release 'This Town' and debut EP 'Ivory', and arrives ahead of his upcoming headline show at London's Omeara in November.
Varey describes the meaning behind the song: "'Messin' Around' is about slipping on the line of insanity sometimes when you're at a dark place in your life. It's a very cathartic and personal song about trying to cope with my internal anxieties while also trying to be strong for the people I love. And learning to lean on them while avoiding vices.
