black midi | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Debut studio album by the London-based math-punk group. The album was produced by Dan Carey and is scratchy, intense and discordant.

"Part of Schlagenheim’s wonder comes from just how unformed it is. At their best, black midi sound like the first days of Earth: atonal, unstable, a land mass roaring to life before the laws of harmony or rhythm are in place. (...) It is primordial and juvenile, dumb and clever, arch and true, and captures a band at that rare time before any self-conscious tones creep into their music. All the while, black midi discover what has been pioneered by countless bands before, and still present it as something entirely new." - Jeremy D. Larson, Pitchfork, 25. 6. 2019.
