THE REVIEW
Who watches over me? This album is either liked or not, and it’s quite easy to define, given this trio from Bristol (home of Massive Attack, Portishead, James Lavelle-Mo'Wax) which has been around since 1992. To describe the Mesh is quickly done: Human League, The Sparks, Depeche Mode, a little bit of New Order in some sounds, then some obsessive German house rhythms. It's classic synth-pop from the eighties. Nothing more, nothing less. However, the rendition is well done, nice lyrics that stand on their own (our favorite lyric "I fell in love with a photograph..."), well-crafted, as is the music. It’s a divertissement. And of course, there's also the "drama," the camp drama of the aforementioned albums. The all-eighties drama. And it's all sleek. That's it. Enjoyable even if it won't leave a mark anywhere. We want to hear it on the radio and think about the eighties. These renditions don't happen only in Italy.

Summary by Bot
Mesh’s 'Who Watches Over Me?' delivers a solid and enjoyable synth-pop album heavily influenced by iconic 80s bands. While it may not break new ground, its lyrics and production are well-crafted. The album channels nostalgic vibes reminiscent of Human League, Depeche Mode, and New Order. Its sleek style and familiar rhythms make it a pleasant listen, especially for fans of retro synth sounds.Tracklist Lyrics Videos
