Have you heard of the new band Black Midi? Their debut is crushing and totally innovative. Check it out if you haven't.
If you have heard them, how would you consider them in relation to prog? I think they're certainly progressive, but not in the classic (Yes, Genesis, etc.) sense, though their song "953" gives me major Schizoid vibes. Here's a link: https://youtu.be/WsBhNRITtdk

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Good 1! I think i had listened to 1 track before. Well, math rock is a suitable label for them. Btw, I think u'll like this video: http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2reuQyLoZM

It is if you're not familiar with This Heat and Slint This band is basically one plus another (minus hooks) |

No idea what song, and not sure they've won the Hyundai Mercury Music Prize I am watching but wow!
That was actually quite impressive so looking forward to getting into the album! |

Apparently they have broken up according to Geordie and Cameron's Instagram. Damn shame.

One of the best prog bands of the 2020s for sure. They broke up? Wah (function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'8b1a30e01d0a67a3',t:'MTcyMzM5OTkxNS4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})(); |

Black Midi will be future legends. They actually somehow reinvented rock or prog or something. Three flawless albums, and then call it quits. Probably too much talent and strong (+difficult, I've heard) personalities in one band to be able to keep it together.

That's a real shame, though there is talk on reddit of some sort of ruse to promote LP4. I doubt it though and there seems to be some decent direction in their solo projects.

I followed the ersatz announcement of their breakup (which from what Geordie said on Instagram may just be an "indefinite hiatus"), the public nature of it seems to have blindsided Cameron and as a result he deleted his initial surprised reactions. The good news is that Cameron used the opportunity to announce the imminent sessions for a solo record with a "great band", so we should have something to look forward to.
And if - on the VERY off chance - this IS a ruse, we'll likely see something on the 20th of this month per Geordie, or else he'll maybe announce something of his own then. He's playing several NYC shows soon, I'll be seeing him at TV Eye.

Well I can cross them off my 'future of prog' list that's for sure. Sorry but 3 albums is not much of a legacy to go on. They were just getting started..

^ I wonder how many people in the generation Z know about Yes, and how many know about Black Midi.
