Black Midi create cathartic experimental rock on their debut ‘Schlagenheim.’ Read our review
With nods to King Crimson, Talking Heads, Death Grips, and many others, London’s Black Midi creates a unique brand of cathartic punishment on their excellent debut. The band’s barely college age , but they’ve attained striking erudition, dexterity and compositional know-how for musicians so young — not to mention a lot of UK hype for a band this odd.
There’s a sense of pastoral wonder in the opening of “Western,” which develops into a micro-managed wash of Frippertronic guitar before taking full shape as a rubbery avant-funk spree striped with gray sheets of guitar scraping, then winding down into something almost Grateful Dead-like its slow, pretty meandering grace.
There’s so much going on here that nothing ever gets bogged down enough to fees indulgent or wanky; most songs clock in at under five minutes, and even the longer ones seem to go by in a blip, as if pranking our iPhone-addled attention spans. Indeed, there’s humor here.
