Album Notes & Community Reviews

black midi's debut album 'Schlagenheim' is a volatile work of experimental rock, defined by jagged, complex time signatures and the dissonant interplay between dueling guitars, all propelled by Morgan Simpson's dynamic drumming. Recorded in just five days with producer Dan Carey, the album's sound is both raw and meticulously crafted, capturing the band's explosive live energy while layering abstract, surrealist lyrics and unconventional vocal deliveries over the intricate instrumental foundation.
