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 February.
The beat, the hook, and the charismatic vocals of Mark Hockings, all show this is anything but only pop from the shelf. In the past 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 another surefire hit, showcasing MESH's sense for relentless melody, not to be missed. While retaining the brilliant hook and signature vocal the club version of "Born To Lie" works just a tick rougher, harder and heavier - perfectly 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. The single is to be released January 18 via Dependent in Europe and ! was produced once again by Olaf Wollschläger, in whose studio the band put the finishing touches on. Pre-orders are already available at the shop.
First out from the new album RISE BEFORE THE FALL is the official video for the track CONTINUUM starring Ober and G-Nome in a dark retro-futuristic fashion that sets the ambience and theme for the new album.
It's the end of the year and this means not only the annual visit from an old man with a white beard who gives the kids some toys, but there's also the annual BIM Festival which takes place on the 14th and 15th December at Trix (as usual) in Antwerp.
Support your local scene, buy tickets at advance....well, you know the drill...just do it as it's important independent music (and especially the black scene) stays alive.
Peek A Boo will present you from now on (on an almost daily base) the bands and their music.
We kick off with True Zebra, a band which I once described as Nine Inch Nails. Yeah, we know....10.000 bands do sound like Trent's industrial alter ego, but True Zebra (not to be confused with Red Zebra) are special.
Well, listen to Kevin's music yourself....
Who you say? Well, some musicfans are already devoted to their postpunksound but in case you haven't heard them so far: give these boys a change!
Something like Gang Of Four mixed with a raw Editors-sound and if you can't make anything of this, discover them on Brussels as they will be the headliner of the newest edition of Fantastique.Nights.
