Following singles ‘John L’, ‘Slow’ & ‘Chondromalacia Patella‘, London band black midi have released their second album Cavalcade via Rough Trade / Remote Control Records.

Cavalcade is a dynamic, hellacious, and inventive follow-up to 2019’s widely-praised Schlagenheima labyrinth with hairpin-turn episodes and lyrics full of dourly corrosive observations” (New York Times, Best Albums of 2019). It scales beautiful new heights, pulling widely from a plethora of genres and influences, reaching ever upwards from an already lofty base of early achievements. black midi picture Cavalcade as a line of larger than life figures, from a cult leader fallen on hard times and an ancient corpse found in a diamond mine to legendary cabaret singer Marlene Dietrich, strolling seductively past them. “When you’re listening, you can imagine all the characters form a sort of cavalcade. Each tells their story one by one and as each track ends they overtake you, replaced by the next in line,” comments Picton.
