“I’ll admit this at the beginning—I have no idea what black midi sounds like. After seeing them at South By Southwest this year, I tried, and failed, to nail it down: “They’re simultaneously an art rock act, a post-punk group, a noise band, a free-jazz ensemble, and an improvisational outfit that’s somehow both tight and loose at the same time.” I later described them as “Parquet Courts-meets-a-fre”
“The mysterious London band emerge from the underground in full chaotic force”
“black midi make glorious nonsense and don't care what you think”
“The London guitar band’s debut is twitchy, hair-raising, always on the move. They harken back to a more esoteric era of indie with a magnetic and dazzling style.”
“Right out of the gate, black midi has crafted one of the decade's most creative rock albums.”
“Hyped UK band takes bracing noise in fascinating new directions.”
