Taking a slight detour from the unbridled energy of their debut record, black midi return with Cavalcade. A deeply intricate, anxiety inducing, unpredictable mega-statement from a band who's buzz can seemingly only grow right now. Joined by lead vocalist of the group, Geordie Greep, Maia gets the lowdown on the stylistic changes through album two and what's still to come from young Londeners. Watch this space. TRACKS INCLUDE: 'John L' 'Marlene Dietrich' 'Chondromalacia Patella' 'Slow' 'Diamond Stuff' 'Dethroned' 'Hogwash & Balderdash' 'Ascending Forth'.

Like a book club for music nerds, Dan Gordon and Maia Bilyk take a deep dive through a different album each week. Between the nostalgic and brand new, broken down by the artist themselves.

Recorded and broadcasted on the stolen land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge their ongoing struggle. Sovereignty was never ceded.

black midi's Cavalcade with Geordie Greep

To say FKA twigs in her near-decade career has seen and experienced it all is an understatement. Since first arriving in 2012 as a hot artist to watch, which each release twigs has extended her alt-baroque-electronic world with each new release, culminating in the grandiose opus Magdalene. In the time since, between some very public and very private battles and a pandemic, twigs took some time to recuperate and nearly stepped away from music altogether. Little did she know, in taking "a break", she'd piece herself and her craft back together again, empowered by the everyday intimacy of life itself. Caprisongs is twigs' jubilant and carefree rebirth, where she steadies for mainstream domination. TRACKS PLAYED: 'ride the dragon' 'honda feat. pa salieu' 'meta angel' 'tears in the club feat. the weeknd' 'oh my love' 'pamplemousse' 'caprisongs interlude feat. solo' 'lightbeamers' 'papi bones feat. shygirl' 'which way feat. dystopia' 'jealousy feat. rema' 'careless feat. daniel caesar' 'minds of men' 'track girl interlude' 'darjeeling feat. jorja smith, unknown t' 'christi interlude' 'thank you song'

FKA twig's Caprisongs

In July 2018, blackgaze (black metal/shoegaze) juggernauts Deafheaven released one of the most unique records in recent memory. Stomach churning vocals balanced across delicate, graceful instrumentation and tropes of classic rock. This was not blast beat, evil black metal; this was pretty and hopeful. Ordinary Corrupt Human Love is a masterwork of blended styes which despite their completely divergent nature, sound beautiful rather than devastating. TRACKS PLAYED: ‘You Without End’ ‘Honeycomb’ ‘Canary Yellow’ ‘Near’ ‘Glint’ ‘Night People’ ‘Worthless Animal’.
