Our Take
Ah, black midi, the band that refuses to be pigeonholed. Their debut album "Schlagenheim" is a wild ride from start to finish, full of unexpected twists and turns that will leave you exhilarated and slightly confused. From the blistering opener "953" to the hypnotic closer "Ducter," black midi demonstrate a mastery of their instruments that is truly awe-inspiring. The complex rhythms and intricate guitar work on tracks like "Near DT, MI" and "bmbmbm" are enough to make even the most seasoned musicians feel inadequate. Vocalist Geordie Greep's manic delivery adds to the chaos, with his yelps and screams cutting through the cacophony like a knife. The lyrics are equally bizarre, touching on everything from existential dread to alien abductions. One of the standout tracks on the album is "Western," a sprawling epic that veers from delicate guitar picking to full-on noise assault. It's a rollercoaster of a song that showcases black midi's ability to blend beauty and chaos in equal measure. Overall, "Schlagenheim" is a fearless and boundary-pushing debut that cements black midi as one of the most exciting bands in the UK right now. Whether you love it or hate it, one thing is for sure: you won't be able to stop talking about it.

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.
