This'll be AOTY - mark my words.

Looking forward to this

so in

can't wait for As If Waltz, that's been my favorite of the live stuff. The solo is f***ing insane

@pneumonia did you listen yet

Listened to about half of the album but the rip didn’t sound great, I’ll wait till Friday for a full listen.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tracks I heard though, loving the latin elements on some of these songs.

Holy Holy is one of the best songs of the year. Blues is a great opener.

Waiting for either a HQ rip or Friday.

Tonight

Saw somewhere they called this game show music and that’s exactly what I need. I want to feel like I’m about to win the $10 million dollar prize on some manic game show

im realizing now I guess I never gave black midi a chance, but the single off this I was recommended today is crazy good

On the black midi spotify it says other listeners listen to squid, hella, and slint so I just got the leak to listen to in a car ride tonight based off that alone

Album premiere going on right now

Hellfire is a near perfect album

My client canceled so I just put that on my Spotify here instead

You are not wrong, almost done with it and this is immaculate music

I think my dumbass always read black midi and thought it was the same as black country new road - who I did try and hate - so I just never paid attention until now, and apparently this band is done for lmao

I think they will reform, it was a weird breakup/hiatus announcement. And that’s funny you lumped them in with BCNR as they are kinda in the same “scene” if you will.

I am heavily anticipating this Geordie record

Friendship with Michael Gira has ended

New best friend is Geordie Greep

I think before checking out BCNR I just saw both mentioned together all the time and my brain didn't really put it together

v happy to have all this new music to listen to now

Hell yeah

MUSIC

BCNR is better than Black Midi lol

Glad you like them but i get immensely bored with them and just go to squid instead

Which album did you try? They only really have 2 rn

Ants from up there and probably another, I just recognize the ants cover right away

I skipped through the songs again and yea it's just not want I want in that sound

When Isaac was in the band? Absolutely

Their new material has sounded good live (no studio music to go off of yet), but also has been a considerable step down. They’re all very skilled musicians but Isaac’s songwriting really was the glue that held it all together, and I don’t think any of Tyler/Lewis/Maye are as naturally gifted as him in that department.

A handful of their newer live music has matched the same level as their earlier stuff imo
