Cavalcade

On 'Cavalcade', black midi shifts from the improvisational framework of their debut to a more deliberate, composed songcraft rooted in progressive rock, jazz fusion, and avant-prog. Produced primarily by John "Spud" Murphy, the album's sound is intentionally dynamic, veering between angular, frenetic intensity and moments of lush, cinematic restraint. This theatrical musical approach provides the backdrop for lyrical vignettes depicting a procession of larger-than-life characters, marking a significant evolution of the band's compositional ambition and stylistic range.
