It’s a bummer Black Midi broke up but I feel like we’re gona get a bunch of awesome records from all of them
Yeah, this is really good. Saw someone say it's like Black Midi playing Steely Dan songs and I can't not hear it.
I feel like a square maybe but I don't get this at all outside of how ridiculously good the instrumentation is. Lyrically offputting and with a glossiness and overall sound/arrangements that makes it sound like the nerdiest 70s record there is - truly baffles me that this is cool. I wasn't a huge BM guy to begin with, but it is rare that I feel this out of touch with an album making waves in the alternative/indie universe.
yeah this sadly completely missed me. maybe that will change. astounding technical feats still abound to be sure but I found it mostly unenjoyable, and yeah lyrically off putting I would agree with even though that’s the point
I really liked this and thought the uncomfoetable lyricism was used pretty well. It did affect what songs I want to come on shuffle tho.
Just found this and wow it is unlike almost anything I’ve ever heard. Fascinating stuff and the drumming is fucking nuts.
Hahahaha I like the song, but you’re not wrong. I’m now imagining a washed up LMM creeping people out at the bar.
