Our Take
Ah, black midi, the band that never fails to surprise and perplex with their genre-bending soundscapes. Their latest offering, "Cavalcade," is no exception. From the moment you press play, you're catapulted into a whirlwind of chaotic energy and intricate melodies. The opening track, "John L," sets the tone with its frenetic guitar riffs and frenzied drumming, making it impossible to sit still. As the album progresses, black midi take you on a journey through a kaleidoscope of sonic textures, from the hauntingly beautiful "Marlene Dietrich" to the pulsating rhythms of "Ascending Forth." Each track is a testament to the band's ability to push boundaries and defy expectations. One of the standout moments on "Cavalcade" is the epic 9-minute opus, "Chondromalacia Patella." This track is a masterclass in building tension and releasing it with explosive energy, leaving you breathless by the end. Overall, black midi have delivered another striking and bold statement with "Cavalcade." It's a challenging listen, but one that rewards those willing to dive deep into its complex layers. So grab your headphones, buckle up, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the mind of one of the most exciting bands in the music industry today.

About the artist

black midi

BLACK MIDI are a four-piece experimental rock band hailing from London, UK. Formed in 2017, the band burst onto the scene with their enigmatic live performances and intricate, genre-defying sound. Described as a "math rock nightmare" by some and a "post-punk dream" by others, BLACK MIDI have carved out their own unique niche in the music industry. Their unconventional time signatures, chaotic instrumentation, and haunting vocals have garnered them a cult following and critical acclaim. With members Geordie Greep, Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin, Cameron Picton, and Morgan Simpson, BLACK MIDI are known for their frenetic energy on stage and their willingness to push the boundaries of what is considered traditional rock music. Their debut album, "Schlagenheim," released in 2019, was met with widespread praise from critics and fans alike, with Pitchfork dubbing it a "mind-bending cacophony of sound." The album showcases the band's technical prowess and fearless approach to songwriting, solidifying their reputation as one of the most exciting and innovative bands in the industry. BLACK MIDI's music is not for the faint of heart, but for those who are willing to dive headfirst into the unknown, they offer a truly exhilarating listening experience. As they continue to push the boundaries of experimentation and creativity, there's no telling where BLACK MIDI will go next. Keep your ears peeled for their next sonic adventure.
