FLYING OUT'S #40 ALBUM OF 2024

Stepping out from the ashes of his band black midi, Geordie Greep has signed on his lonesome to Rough Trade, and come out swinging with new single Holy, Holy. When we say swinging, uh, there's a touch of the Mike Patton Does Mike Flowers Pops to the sound. The frantic guitars that open the tune soon give way to a kind of hyperconfident karaoke performance over hurried latin-ish rhythms. Bring on The New Sound! - Flying Out

Geordie Greep (guitarist and vocalist in black midi) announces his debut solo album ‘The New Sound'.  Following three astonishing albums with black midi, most recently 2023’s ‘Hellfire’, and almost non-stop worldwide tours for near-on five years, Geordie Greep has somehow found time to record his first solo album ‘The New Sound’, an album that has allowed him scope to explore creative ideas like never before. It boasts a brand of high quality, all-embracing alternative pop fun not heard in a very long time. Over thirty session musicians were involved in the making of the album, on two continents, in São Paulo and London. Geordie Greep has had plenty of practice with black midi over the years in performing musical and lyrical Cruyff turns, full of stop-starts, blasts and bangs and whispered soliloquies. Here the method is employed to ask: what part of the narrative should we listeners believe, or take as our emotional crutch?  It’s certainly an album that fully engages the listener, throughout the eleven tracks.
