about

‘Soap Opera’ is the first single to be taken from Mesadorm’s new album ‘Pollinator’ to be released on 8th April 2022. 3 years in the making, this music has been jammed, collaged, produced and re-produced beginning in a lonely woodland cabin in Stroud and ending in a tiny Hackney home studio. It has witnessed 3 band babies whilst seeing off a near fatal incident all through the lens of a worldwide pandemic. With front woman Blythe Pepino now firmly in the production seat, this album is a melting pot of inventive catchy tune-ery, embodying something not dissimilar to the simplicity of the lowly love song before sweeping sweetly into a barrage of anti-establishment cacophony. All of which is painstakingly clear from the very opening of ‘Soap Opera’;

“Soap Opera is the court jester. An overt and sarcastic expression of my rage and depression at being an English person after realising that I have no pride in that part of my identity at all. I wanted to write a song about what I really think of this country, at this moment, in a way I could just about get away with…because we (and more of us than we think) are blinded by an old reputation of power and righteousness. That’s the scary bit. I don't think enough people really, deeply believe that we could be headed to overt, rather than disguised, fascism because we have this idea of ourselves as saviours - our national identity bleeds into our individual identities which we want to be generally ‘good’. So, in this tune I enjoy poking that nerve. It’s time that we are able to see ourselves for who we really are so that change can happen” - Blythe Pepino
