Geordie Greep - the freshest new music I've heard for a good while.

[musicbassman]

I'd never heard of Geordie Greep until a couple of weeks ago. He was the guitarist/frontman with a band called Black Midi.

His first album has just been released, and it's the most interesting new material I've heard for a good while.

Difficult to pick one track - (it's all on YouTube) - as each track is so different. Here's a track called 'Blues' which maybe gives you a taste. You'll have to watch it on YouTube as it has the dreaded f-word in the lyrics (just once, I think)

Sounds like the bastard child of Frank Zappa and King Crimson, but slightly less musical...

 

I like a man unafraid of a complicated lyric.

Love it!

And they play it live!

Yeah, talented guy. Individually I love Black Midi's stuff but it can be tough going after a few tracks, in some part due to his vocals. I was excited to watch their Glastonbury set a couple of years back but it became a tough listen as the grooves are in such short spells.

@musicbassman thank for the  heads up. Never heard of them but I like this. More research is now taking place!

There's definitely an essence of Zappa going on (you know what I mean? You know what I mean? 😉) but done in an original way.

This is a good thing. Ta 👍
