Hailed as some late-decade saviours of the noise rock scene, this impossibly tall reputation does not even come close to exceeding the band’s abilities in the slightest. They shovel ladle scoops of chaotic flavoured goodness into the dead of your centre which pushes the threshold juuuust far enough without ever falling to pieces, even if it spends the entire runtime sounding like it is about to explode at any second, teetering on the red just because it’s funny when you’re scared. There’s no harm in hypothesising that maybe... maybe... Black Midi could grow to be one of those rock groups who claim the next 10 years as their own? But even if they don’t, we’ll still have Schlagenheim.
