Black Midi

Hellfire

Hellfire builds on the melodic and harmonic elements of Cavalcade, while expanding the brutality and intensity of their debut, Schlagenheim. It is their most thematically cohesive and intentional album yet.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: While Black Midi may be hard to categorise, it hasn't stopped people of all ages flooding towards their diverse mix of jazzy rock and angular post-punk, and 'Hellfire' definitely stands to gain them a significant chunk of new followers. It's another step outside of the comfort zone, with angular guitar phrases and barely cohesive percussion coming together magnificently into yet another chapter of incendiary oddball genius.

Black Midi

Cavalcade

black midi’s new album Cavalcade is to be released on 28th May. Cavalcade is a dynamic, hellacious, and inventive follow-up to 2019’s widely-praised Schlagenheim, “a labyrinth with hairpin-turn episodes and lyrics full of dourly corrosive observations” (New York Times, Best Albums of 2019).

It scales beautiful new heights, pulling widely from a plethora of genres and influences, reaching ever upwards from an already lofty base of early achievements. 


STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Black Midi have always revelled in forging the most cacophonous and confounding noise, drawing skilfully from a diverse range of influences. 'Cavalcade' takes this one step further with such a varied and hugely skilled narrative, it's hard not to get drawn into their world after just a couple tracks. Jazzy, noisy, heavy and in parts eerie, this is peak Black Midi.
