Following up on *Schlagenheim*, a remarkably successful debut album in 2019, black midi announce their follow-up with *Cavalcade*. For their second album, Geordie Greep (vocals, guitar), Cameron Picton (bass, vocals), and Morgan Simpson (drums) reach new heights, drawing their influences from a wide range of different musical genres. Like their first album, the British band defies categorization, alternately flirting with math rock, jazz, and post-punk with characteristic energy and mastery.
