I was fortunate enough to catch Black Midi today at SXSW, a UK band with a shitload of hype behind them that proved to be completely warranted. The band does a kind of post punk/math rock thing with vocals reminiscent of The Fall's Mark E. Smith or maybe a more menacing Fred Schneider of The B-52s. Angular, noisy, chaotic, and complex changing time signatures paired with a natural aloofness means we're going to see a lot of ink on these guys over the next few months. Their online presence is minimal at best, but it seems they've signed with Rough Trade, so that may be changing in the near future. Listen to new track "Speedway" along with few remixes of it below, and certainly catch a live performance if you can.
