LIZZARD: Prog-Rock Powerhouse Releases Fifth Full-Length “Mesh”

France-based, prog-rock power trio LIZZARD has released their fifth studio album, Mesh, today on Pelagic Records.

Capturing the energetic, lightning-in-a-bottle optimism of the late ‘90s post-punk/art-rock scene and reigniting it with simmering potential, Mesh sees LIZZARD out to reclaim the creative, collaborative energy that has fueled them for over a decade.

The new single “Mad Hatters” sees LIZZARD take aim at those in power as society teeters on the edge of collapse. This stand-out track is packed with mellow polyrhythms and plaintive melodies that push pressing questions to the fore as the band harnesses the raw energy of the late ‘90s post-punk and art-rock scenes and reframe it as something urgent, empowering and inspiring.

Having first met in 2006, drummer Katy Elwell, guitarist/vocalist Mat Ricou, and bassist Will Knox quickly realized they shared not only similar creative influences but also a distinct musical vision. The trio set out to craft an unmistakably contemporary rock sound that sought to resonate emotionally with the listener whilst being unafraid to challenge them too. The result is heavy, hook-laden and so much greater than the sum of its parts. After eighteen years, four full-length albums, and countless international tours alongside the likes of Gojira, ORK (King Crimson/Porcupine Tree), The Pineapple Thief, and Soen, LIZZARD returns with Mesh; a propulsive product of the raw, spontaneous might of the band’s live prowess, pent up for so long by events outside of their control, and the production precision of their studio experience alongside long-time friend and collaborator, producer Peter Junge.
