This is a brief photoshoot of band black midi following the release of their 2021 album Cavalcade. The cover is for a magazine called ele-king and black midi was interviewed with the likes of Black Country, New Road and Squid, being honored as the bands of the future. Stepping away from the sound of their debut album Schlagenheim, Cavalcade embraces more of an electrifying prog-jazz approach, just as mathy as one would want a black midi album to be though. It’s comprised of fun songs of riddling lyricism such as John L & Hogwash and Balderdash. Gorgeous ballads such as Marlene Dietrich and Dethroned. My favorite song, Chondromalacia Patella is a perfect mix of both. I’d advise all to listen if you’re looking to expand your taste in rock music.

[stealthrockdamage]

Cannot fucking get over how good The New Sound is.

The opening track "Blues" sounds like a fusion of Discipline-era King Crimson with Hellfire-era black midi, while "Terra" and "Holy Holy" sound like they could have been on Steely Dan's Aja.

The age of yacht prog is upon us, folks

Eiko Ishibashi — Antigone (Drag City)

On Antigone, Japanese singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and soundtrack composer Eiko Ishibashi returns to the vocal-led songcraft last explored on her 2018 Drag City release, The Dream My Bones Dream. In the intervening period, Ishibashi’s soundtracks to Drive My Car and Evil Does Not Exist further refined her compositional sensibility. In my Dusted review of the latter, I praised how the music “skillfully and subtly complements the film’s themes, capturing stillness, beauty, sorrow and uncertainty in such a way that the album succeeds on its own terms as a nuanced listening experience.” Antigone is similarly nuanced, foregrounding Ishibashi’s delicate, girlish voice within soft contours of fretless bass, piano, drums, synthesizer and horn and string arrangements. It’s a beguiling blend of jazz, prog and art-pop, which comes across as unashamedly sophisticated, if a little arch at times.

The contrast between inviting and unsettling musical elements is immediately apparent from opener “October,” as Joe Talia’s intricate rhythms and Marty Holoubek’s languid bass rise out of a foreboding string arrangement. Though seemingly placid on the surface, the song is then peppered with Jim O’Rourke’s glistening synthesizer runs and samples of radio transmissions. Accordion player Kalle Moberg presents a fairly conventional approach on the gorgeous, lilting “Continuous Contiguous,” but coaxes bizarre, stuttering melodic runs out of the instrument on single “Coma.” “Trial” is a driving, addictive highlight, with a Chris Squire-esque distorted bass tone and resounding horns during the outro. Eight-minute epic “The Model” initially has a dreamy cast to it but shifts gears at its midway point to incorporate some unnerving gurgling vocal effects that sound like Davros from Dr Who. Ishibashi arrives at points of repose on “Nothing As” and the closing title track, leaving behind the more challenging arrangements to focus on piano and a yearning vocal melody. It’s these moments of immediacy and unassuming beauty that leave the strongest impression.

🎵 SONG-TO-GO 🎵

Friday is here, so I've got another Song-To-Go poll hot n' ready to go for you!

If you're new, hello and welcome! Song-To-Go is a weekly song poll released every Friday where I present you with new, lesser-known songs to listen to while you scroll.

As always, choose songs based on the 30-second Spotify snippets if you don’t know them (and I try to make sure there’s always something you won’t know). If you like what you hear, go listen to the full songs, they’re yours to carry along on your scroll!

[last week’s poll, playlist of everything so far (in order) and other/future picks]

This week, I’ve picked some Cure-inspired new wave from India that I’ve been digging all year, a Montreal synthpop trio that actually came out of cult favourite band Caveboy, a young but incredible new jazzy Canadian alt rock band (broken up already sadly), American goth rock that iirc I found through tumblr so you might already know her. We’ve also got a punk rock band whose sense of justice is shaped by the fact that their singer is still and was an NHS doctor during the pandemic, and the hip hop musician Hyphen, who is opening for Bob Vylan (another recommendation!) on their UK tour so go catch him live.

Happy listening! Pass it on and let me know in the tags what you liked this week :) I’ll be back with another next Friday!
