8/23/24.

I saw the news that black midi was on an indefinite break and that each member would explore other projects - mostly solo. But, I didn't know Geordie Greep (England) was ready to drop his first solo album.

Here it is - "The New Sound" - recorded with over 30 musicians. He recorded in both Brazil and London. Rough Trade describes the music as "alternative pop fun". And while there's only one song here, I would agree with that assessment. There is undoubtedly a black midi vibe, but more structured and more poppy. To me, this immediately recalled the excellent debut album from Godcaster. Or this might sound what Tredici Bacci would sound like if they opted for a more rock sound.

Rough Trade said of the sound of "The New Sound" is "Frank Zappa and Frank Sinatra, with a healthy dash of Scott Walker sprinkled throughout."

10/20/24.

I read the Pitchfork review for fantasy of a broken hearts (Brooklyn, New York) LP "Feats of Engineering" and was definitely intrigued by music that inspired the writer to name drop Prefab Sprout, Deerhunter and Animal Collective. I would never really dismiss someone else's comparisons, but none of those bands were my immediate touchstones when I listened to this album.

I've probably already listened to it 5 times and am equally as enthralled as the Pitchfork writer. This is prog/pop/pscyh - it's just so interesting and at times melodic and beautiful. I thought of Frog right away. But at times this has the intensity of Turbosleaze and Godcaster.

This is being released by Dots Per Inch Music which is also based in NYC. fantasy of a broken heart have connections to other NYC bands like This is Lorelei, Water From Your Eyes, and Sloppy Jane.
