Geordie Greep (b. 1999) is the former frontman of the recently disbanded UK rock band Black Midi. The group released three studio albums throughout their run: Schlagenheim in 2019, Cavalcade in 2021, and Hellfire in 2022. Greep’s distinctive vocal style has been called a “warped croon” and “geographically unclassifiable” by critics, while Black Midi’s iconoclastic mishmash of influences call to mind Frank Zappa, King Crimson, and the Fall all at once. Greep’s debut solo album, The New Sound, rreleased last year on Rough Trade finds him moving in a new but equally ambitious path.
