London indie band Black Midi has followed up a successful debut album, Schlagenheim, with the new rhythmic single, ‘Sweater.’
After a minimalistic instrumental intro, “Sweater” bursts into a full-throttle chugger with turbulent, ringing guitars and chugging percussions.
Black Midi creates amazing post-punk arcade-fueled experimental music that sounds nostalgic and yet feels refreshingly new, with a vocalist, frontman Geordie Greep, that stands out like few other frontmen.
The other band members of the quartet are award-winning drummer Morgan Simpson, guitarist Cameron Picton, and bassist Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin.
A few years back, the band built a reputation for their dynamic, collaborative energy and uncompromising live shows from the start and blew attendees away at last year’s SXSW festival.
Not long ago, the band released an Ed Sheeran diss track titled “ded sheeran,” a bizarre song that trolls singer/songwriter superstar Ed Sheeran.
The track dropped on the band’s Soundcloud but was quickly removed. But a it found its way on to YouTube.
Lyrics include: Ed Sheeran sucks/ you sellout ginger prick/ your music is doodoo/ believe me man/ we don’t need you.
