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


Recommended Posts

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)

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 👍

I've just done the same thing of finding out about him through an article and going to the album. Very much enjoying it although there are a few duds on there. Blues is an absolute showstopper, though. Maybe the best new thing I have heard this year (new as in new to me and released this year).

Wondered what had happened to Black Midi, there was a big buzz about them a few years ago, then it all went quiet.

 

Must give Geordie Greep a listen.

I feel this avant-garde thing has been done and was rightly left in the past.

People gonna do what feel they need to do, whether that's creating it or choosing not to listen to it. 

All good.
