A music recommendation: black midi
Edition one
I can not get enough of English experimental prog-rock jazz band, black midi.
Black midi refers to the Japanese music genre in which black notes render sheet music near unreadable.
Their sound embodies complex and overlapping progressions. A continuous ebb and flow of structured chaos. Changing tempos. The element of surprise. Theatrical expression. Engaged, deliberate, undefinable. Eargasmic bliss.
Black midi's new album Hellfire, released July 2022, is a good place to begin. Their catalogue has become the soundtrack to my life since walking into Innerwest Vinyl in Yarraville in early September. The song Welcome to Hell captured me instantaneously. I love it.
Check out black midi.
