Surprised to see so much hostility this thread towards such a young band who haven’t even released one album yet.

I thought it was always like that on here unless you’re called Phoebe Bridgers ?

Hostility towards the hype train I guess, standard enough

Tbf this is very much the Guardian trying to find an angle with their “divisiveness” in a typically irritating Guardian way. They say in the first paragraph "You discover that on Twitter when you’re played on 6Music: 20% really like it, 50% don’t give a shit and 30% absolutely hate it.” They haven’t said 50% of the population don’t care about them, it’s very specifically relating to people who’ve explicitly heard and are commenting on their music. Why someone would comment on Twitter to say they don’t care is beyond me, but that’s the modern world.

Really annoys me that when I wanna search for the largely Japanese subgenre of note crunching electronic music I now get an Arab On Radar ripoff band

Same, esp given that they’re a really good band

I’ll probably listen to the album but not expecting anything too good.

I thought Sunglasses was an ok song and saw them live once. An ok live band but nothing that made them stand out.

To be fair I didn’t care enough about them to read the article.

Black Midi are a bit springs over substance. I like what I’ve heard of BC,NR, which is frustratingly at least 2/3rds of the album. I’m assuming some of the songs will be re-recorded?

#93

Aye I’ve heard they’re different versions from the early singles.

As if these guys will write a better song than The Cleaner

Edit: only being a prat. Will listen to the album tomorrow and probably like it.

Isn’t the posh daughter from the film Bait in this band too? Mint film.

Squid are ace. Have to say I didn’t love the double A-aide they brought out on Warp last year, the album will surely be excellent though.

Is this the Speedy Wunderground thread now
