MeshAfter a three year absence, Bristol’s hottest underground export in heartwrenching electronic pop is back. MESH, the duo of Mark Hockings and Rich Silverthorn, return with „A Perfect Solution“, possibly the most mature, mutable and yet toughest album of their career. While no one doubts Mark Hocking’s status as an exceptional vocalist, a complete listen to this album also serves to highlight the band’s songwriting and arrangement skills. Once pegged as a purely retro synth act, MESH have mutated into a true live band, and the resulting versatility in the arrangements transforms what might have merely been 11 good songs into outstanding ones.

Win this album with the GothVille Mesh Contest !

Thematically, „A Perfect Solution“ is a bit darker than previous releases. The tone of the album is typified by „If We Stay Here“, a tale of broken relationships between people who once loved each other but who now just exist in the same space. The massive housing facade pictured on the cover further symbolizes the painful dramas which take place behind its windows.

 

The wires running throughout the artwork are both safety lines and shackles – anything but „A Perfect Solution“. Were the album musically as dismal andhopeless as it is lyrically, „A Perfect Solution“ might be too much to handle, but luckily MESH know how to strike the delicate balance between „bitter“ and „sweet“.

Alongside the regular jewelcase CD edition (mind 140) the album will also be available as strictly limited collectors box set incl. the album, 7“-single, poster and a special size 48-page booklet (mind 141).
