MESH stand for perfect pop songs with accessible melodies fantastic vocals. In terms of songwriting and arrangement they are virtually peerless in the electro/synthpop scene. Now the British duo is back with “Born to Lie”, the impressive first single from their new studio album “Automation Baby” due out next March. Pop from the shelf?
The beat, the hook, and the charismatic vocals of Mark Hockings all signal this is anything but. In the three years since the release of their last full-length “A Perfect Solution” the boys from Bristol have been hard at work crafting new material.
The exclusive B-side “Black Dog” is just another surefire hit, showcasing MESH’s sense for relentless melody, not to be missed. While retaining the brilliant hook and signature vocal, the club versi! on of “Born to Lie” works just a tick rougher, harder and heavier - perfect for the dance floor. The Rotersand Rework is a groovier treatment, while the minimal EBM technopop of the Blitzmaschine remix gives the track an additional hypnotic touch. All in all, a well-rounded packet with something for everyone. MESH are back and if you consider the additional 10 or 11 pop pearls to appear on “Automation Baby”, 2013 should be another big year for MESH
