Super Ballet presents Geordie Greep, former Black Midi vocalist, in a dance performance that blends instrumental chaos with a crooner attitude, showcasing his solo album 'The New Sound'.

In Black Midi, Geordie Greep was part of that generation of bands that renewed British post-rock and regularly played at the Windmill in London. Think of Black Country, New Road or even caroline, not a bad scene to be in. Black Midi enjoyed a different animosity from critics and audiences compared to other bands, partly due to how they mixed classical elements from other rock genres and integrated them into a very post-post something posture. That lasted until they ended in 2024. It didn't take long to hear from their vocalist, Geordie Greep. Greep quickly released a solo album. 'The New Sound' immediately marked this territory of someone who now wants to be a kind of Arto Lindsay for a new generation. Making the most of what distinguished him in Black Midi, his voice, Geordie Greep used it to create a bridge between fans of the band and us fans who might come to this life closer to art-rock that embraces various sources of inspiration, be it tropicalism or jazz. With this quick affirmation, he wanted to demonstrate his role in Black Midi and how a certain aptitude for melodies and the unexpected in the band came precisely from him. Did he convince us? Yes, and how. So much so that now, two years later, we eagerly await what might come next, whether a continuation of someone who can blend instrumental chaos with a crooner attitude, captivating us not by the mix itself, but by the frantic edge that arises from it, like something that dazzles and infects, or something even newer, like a rabbit out of a hat. Why do we think that? Because Geordie Greep has already given us reasons to think it's possible. It's impossible not to expect the unexpected from him. AS.
