Looking Skyward is an awesome collection of well-composed and arranged synthpop
songs that will have you singing along and bopping your head in no time. It's a
worthy follow up to the critically acclaimed and commercially successful
Automation Baby, which was released in 2014, and another brick in an incredible
body of work.

As part of their songwriting process for Looking Skyward, Mark Hockings and
Richard Silverthorn used portable recorders to gather a variety of environmental
sounds, which inspired and informed their songwriting process. Of course, the
lyrics (is there a finer musical storyteller than Mark Hockings?) and melodies
are first-rate - all that you'd expect from the best Mesh album. Hockings' voice
is in fine form, sounding even better than I remember it. And his lyrics are
even more clever than I would have expected. Mesh is soaring high on Looking
Skyward!

Looking Skyward is among Mesh's best albums in recent memory. It's exciting to
see Mark Hockings and Richard Silverthorn trying to stretch in new directions,
while building on the sound and style that brought them to the point where they
are - one of the pre-eminent bands in the world of synthpop. Their spot at the
pinnacle of this genre is well-deserved.
