 | | Description: | Schlagenheim by Black Midi, released 21 June 2019, includes the following tracks: "Reggae", "Western", "BMBMBM", "Ducter" and more.
This version of Schlagenheim comes as a 1xCD. - Enigmatic London-based Black Midi bring you their debut album Schlagenheim via Rough Trade Records. Since forming just over a year ago, Black Midi - Geordie Greep (vocals/guitar), Cameron Picton (bass/vocals), Matt Kelvin (guitar/vocals) and Morgan Simpson (drums) - have quickly cemented their reputation as one of the hottest new underground bands, following a string of sold-out UK live dates and surprise shows punctuated by constantly shifting sets and blistering musicianship. They bonded over shared musical enthusiasms, or "liking messed up things" as Kelvin puts it, including an appreciation for rapper Danny Brown, Death Grips, Deerhoof, Miles Davis and Talking Heads, who they like so much they called a song... Talking Heads. Greep says that "we've always tried to make it heavy but danceable, melodic but good rhythms. It is accessible music, there are experimental aspects that we've taken from when we went crazy at the beginning, we've just reigned it in to make something that is pop music." These new tracks were recorded in an initial burst with Speedy Wundergrund producer Dan Carey. In November, Black Midi retouched older recordings, and laid down eight songs in just five days. Drawing comparisons to groups like Shellac, Can, This Heat, & Slint, that's only half the story to this deeply uncategorizable music. These songs are slippery creatures, the sparks from a musical unit that's constantly in a state of flux and development. Recently, the band played their first North American live shows, were named a standout act at SXSW and sold out several dates in the Northeast, including their first two shows in New York. Black Midi will return stateside this July for Pitchfork Fest and more touring.Comes in a slimline case. Includes 8-panel poster with lyrics and artwork (which, however, does not fit within the jewel box, see photo of shrink-wrapped copy). Sealed versions with "black midi SCHLAGENHEIM" sticker on wrap.
"Schlagenheim" is the audacious debut album by London-based band Black Midi, presented here in the classic CD format by Rough Trade / Beggars Group / Indigo. Across its tracks, the record fuses experimental rock, math rock and noise elements into a tense, unpredictable soundscape that constantly shifts between fragile quiet and eruptive chaos. Angular guitar riffs, complex rhythmic patterns and unconventional song structures create a listening experience that feels both intensely physical and intellectually demanding. The production captures the raw, almost live-like energy of the band, highlighting the interplay of instruments and the dynamic contrasts that define the record. "Schlagenheim" is aimed at listeners who are looking for a challenging, innovative guitar album that pushes the boundaries of contemporary rock far beyond the mainstream.
Black Midi quickly established themselves as one of the most exciting new names in the UK underground with their explosive live performances and a sound that is difficult to categorize. Emerging from the vibrant London scene, the band gained early attention through word of mouth, online live recordings and high-profile festival and club appearances. With "Schlagenheim", they delivered a debut that was widely praised by critics for its originality, technical precision and fearless experimentation, placing the band among the most talked-about new British rock acts of their generation.
The CD edition offers the album in high sound quality and a tangible, collectable form for fans who value physical media. Liner notes and artwork underline the artistic concept and help immerse the listener further in Black Midi's dense sonic universe. As a complete package, this edition of "Schlagenheim" is ideal for collectors of contemporary experimental rock and for anyone who wants to experience one of the most distinctive debut records of recent years in full.
