Black Midi – Geordie Greep (guitar, primary vocals), Cameron Picton (bass, vocals), and Morgan Simpson (drums) – envisage Cavalcade’s songs as a parade of larger than life figures strolling seductively past them. These include a cult leader fallen on hard times, an ancient corpse found in a diamond mine and legendary cabaret singer Marlene Dietrich, among others.
“Cavalcade” is the second album from Black Midi. 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.
