Mesh & Lace

Modern English

Abrasive, jagged, and deeply rhythmic post-punk. This is the dark, industrial shadow cast before the band found their pop sunlight.

Forget the pop hits: this is the jagged, dark art-punk record that actually built their reputation.

A tense, industrial claustrophobia that finds beauty in jagged edges and rhythmic repetition.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless, driving bass line of 'Grief' that refuses to resolve for over six minutes.
The jarring, abrasive guitar feedback that cuts through the opening of 'A Viable Commercial'.
The way the vocals shift from a detached mumble to an urgent shout during 'Move in Light'.
