Release
A Pretty Mess by This One Band was released in April 1996 by record label Will. Its songs were reissued in 2002 on the album The Broken Down Comforter Collection.
Reception
AllMusic writer Dean Carlson gave it a three-star review, describing it as "a decent litmus test for the group's own potential. Definitely not as pretty as the title might suggest, but still one of the better – although flawed – messes from America's indie underground", comparing it to Pavement, Pixies and Yo La Tengo. Guitarist Jim Fairchild put the similarities to Pavement down to their recording budget: "We had very meager means when we recorded our first album for Will Records, so it's naturally going to sound more lackadaisical and sloppy than our current records."
