Black Midi released second album ‘Cavalcade’ in May. Reviewing the record, NME said: “Across the album’s eight songs and 40 minutes, they traverse noise rock, unhinged jazz, ambient folk and beyond. A band who defy expectation at every turn, the only predictable thing about Black Midi is that they’ll never stay the same.

“Black Midi will almost definitely never make easily digestible or understandable music – they’re probably as excited and confused about where they’re heading next as we are – but to focus on the finer points and try to make sense of it would be to miss the overall point of the band. Simply going down the rabbit hole with these deeply weird, brilliant musicians will never be less than exhilarating.”
