180 Gram Vinyl housed in Gatefold Sleeve.
ï»żï»żblack midi announce their debut full-length, Schlagenheim, with the tracklisting to be announced on the day of release. Throughout, black midi - Georgie Greep (vocals/guitar), Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin (vocals/guitar), Cameron Picton (vocals/bass), and Morgan Simpson (drums) - have a dynamic energy, playing as a musical unit thatâs constantly in a state of flux and development.
Schlagenheim was recorded with Speedy Wunderground producer Dan Carey, who the band praises for his quick, unfussy approach. black midi laid down eight of the recordâs nine tracks in just five days. The process was one of refining and rebuilding tracks around the initial structures. Five hour jams would sometimes yield a riff that then became a few bars of a song. As anyone whoâs been lucky enough to catch black midi live over recent months will testify, black midiâs songs are slippery creatures.
When the group began, they had far more rules and regulations about what should and shouldnât be done, which transformed into more of an âanything goesâ policy of experimentation. At first, the music they were making was "an ambient, droning, noisy thing" as Greep describes it, mutating into something reminiscent of Swans or the Boredoms, before songs like âbmbmbmâ and âSpeedwayâ started to take shape.
The foursome comprising black midi are all 19 and 20 years of age and have backgrounds steeped in music. Simpson grew up in a church and took up the drums when he was two. Greep started out playing along to the likes of Black Sabbath on "the OG" Guitar Hero. They all met at the Brit School, and praise their education for giving them a vital grounding in musical collaboration. While studying, the group paid their way by teaching music and doing sessions for friends. Greep and Kwasniewski-Kelvin would busk in south-east London, on some days playing Jimi Hendrixâs âPurple Hazeâ or blues and soul tracks, and on others playing their own music.
The band has promised that in a few yearsâ time, the music of black midi will be unrecognizable from how it is now. "It's a bit bold, but you've got to set yourself challenges, there's no point doing the same thing over and over again," says Greep.
