"You can't expect anything conventional from one of the most distinctive personalities in experimental rock in recent years. In The New Sound, we dive deep into Geordie Greep's creative arsenal, shedding more light on what he brings (or brought?) to the table as part of black midi.

Greep has much to say, often delving into uncomfortable territory, yet he delivers every line with total confidence, forging the bizarre character that only he can portray. Lyrically, he takes us across a spectrum that ranges from sweet romanticism to unhinged libido.

This is backed up by quite the handful of session musicians, blending symphonic grandeur with tropical getaway vibes (Tristan Bongos!) and occasional cacophonies, all of which parallel the lyrical themes. Throughout the runtime, the chemistry among the musicians is flawlessly maintained.

With all this said, this project is one that black midi fans simply can't (and won't) miss."

"This album is absolutely incredible. The different styles incorporated in it are done so well and I'd say this is better than anything Geordie did with Black Midi.
A truly unique experience and a record I can see future acts citing as a strong influence. Absolute must listen, especially if you're also into bands like Black Country, New Road and Squid as well as Black Midi"
