In an immortal era for British indie guitar music, out of the holy trinity of BCNR, Black Midi and Squid - they are now the only ones with either their original lead singer or who haven't split entirely. Their excellent third album is every bit as good as their first and a tiny bit less so than their classic second. Another cohesive, oblique look at the absolute state of society and the world around them.

Esta semana, en una nueva sesión de Rebelión Sónica, los invitamos a escuchar música del disco debut como solista del ahora exintegrante de Black Midi, Geordie Greep, “The New Sound”. Editado por el sello Rough Trade el 04 de octubre, el álbum está integrado por 11 canciones y se grabó con la ayuda de más de 30 músicos de sesión en Londres, Reino Unido y São Paulo, Brasil. En una declaración sobre la placa, el cantante y guitarrista señaló que “con la grabación de “The New Sound”, fue la primera vez que no tuve a nadie ante quien responder. Al estar en una banda (black midi), a menudo tenemos esa sensación de “podemos hacerlo todo”, pero también estás un poco limitado en ese enfoque y, a veces, es bueno hacer otra cosa, dejar ir las cosas”. El músico, quien estuvo en Chile con su banda en diciembre de 2023, agregó que “la mitad de las canciones se hicieron en Brasil y los músicos locales se reunieron en el último minuto. Nunca habían oído nada de lo que había hecho antes, sólo estaban interesados en los demos que había hecho. Todo el registro se realizó en uno, tal vez dos días”. Por su parte, el texto de promoción indica que “el espíritu de los soliloquios cada vez más febriles y furtivos de Greep recuerda simultáneamente a Frank Zappa y Frank Sinatra, con una saludable pizca de Scott Walker esparcido por todas partes”. En el último bloque del programa, viajamos al pasado en la historia de Greep, para escucharlo como parte de Black Midi, específicamente con material del primer disco de la banda: “Schlagenheim” de 2019. Rebelión Sónica sale al aire por radio Rockaxis los jueves a las 10 y 22 horas, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.

Steven and Ian begin this week's episode by discussing Ian's upcoming trip to London, which is quickly interrupted by a quick rant by Steven about the (improving!) state of tour T-shirts (4:06). Then the guys commence a conversation about Pitchfork's recent list of the best albums of the 2020s, and what some notable exclusions and slights say about the changing critical narrative for the decade (12:23). After that, they take stock of a big release day for albums and review the latest from Wild Pink (30:59), former Black Midi frontman Geordie Greep (37:12), and the new supergroup The Hard Quartet fronted by Stephen Malkmus (45:41).In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks up the emo band Ceres and Steven reps for the fine indie-heartland rock group Trace Mountains (51:04).New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

Geordie Greep was the lead singer and guitarist for the celebrated British rock band black midi. With that band on indefinite hiatus, Greep is now focused on his own songs, which range freely across the musical landscape, encompassing jazz-rock and blues, but also country and Brazilian music. Hold on tight, for there are "stop-starts, blasts and bangs, and whispered soliloquies as [the listener] is never quite sure when, or whether, [one is] supposed to be shocked; or laugh", (Rough Trade Records). Geordie Greep and his band play new music from his debut solo album called The New Sound, in-studio. Set list: 1. Holy, Holy 2. Terra 3. The New Sound

For the last 5 years, London band Black Midi have pushed experimental rock music to new and thrilling places, inspired as much by jazz fusion as math rock and no wave. But last month, quite unexpectedly, the trio split up. It was meant to be kept a secret, until singer and frontman Geordie Greep announced the news on Instagram. One week later, he announced his debut solo album, boldly titled The New Sound (out this month via Rough Trade Records).  Stu visited Geordie at his home shortly after these two bits of indie-shaking news broke, to discuss the end of the Black Midi and the start of Greep's solo career, as well as his time at the prestigious Brit School, and what makes Angels by Robbie Williams actually a very good pop song.  Also on this week's show, Greg and Stu pick apart the week's headlines, lament being so rubbish at predicting who would win the Mercury Prize, and count down the greatest award show speeches of all time.  You can watch clips of the podcast online now, just give us a follow on Instagram @midnightchatspod.  Further reading/listening/viewing Black Midi Loud And Quiet interview Geordie Greep 'Holy Holy' video Lenny Henry full MOBO 2015 speech Bjork's grateful grapefruit Credits: Editing by Stuart Stubbs  Mixing and mastering by Flo Lines Artwork by Kate PriorSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steven and Ian begin today's episode with a review of Phoenix's performance at the Olympics last weekend, and the maddening idea that every band from the aughts is now being lumped into the made-up phenomenon known as "indie sleaze" (1:09). From there, they move on to the news that the proggy British post-punk band Black Midi has apparently broken up. The guys discuss their brief career and the surprisingly wide influence they have had on other acts (13:38).Then they talk about Wishy, the Indiana-based shoegaze outfit that has emerged as one of 2024's most hyped young bands. Their debut full-length, Triple Seven, is out today, and Steven loves it while Ian is more reserved in his judgement (24:49). After that, they move on to discussion about Ween, who Steven wrote about this week. He wonders whether Ian has a "yay or nay" assessment of the cult duo (39:15). In the mailbag, a listener asks about the strangest place the guys have either seen a show, and Steven talks about seeing the '90s rap group Onyx and Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham at two different high schools (47:01).In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks up the playful pop of Porter Robinson while Steven stumps for the Georgia rock band Futurebirds (53:26).New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

Happy Thanksgiving! We've reassembled to celebrate the holiday together and enjoy a sponsor paid feast of, mostly potatoes. We're recounting the concerts that we're most thankful for, and we'd love to hear about yours (Comment on our episode page):Nick decided to spin this topic and broke his three into categories. First are the concerts with friends, like the King Gizzard & Black Midi shows he saw with Jay last year. Next we have concerts with family, like Queens of the Stone Age with his brother Alex, Local Natives with his sister Jillian, and the Brian Regan show earlier in the year with Mom, siblings & their spouses. Finally, it's concerts performed by friends and attended with friends and family…which was just a way to bring up the Red Not Chili Peppers.Songs:King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - “Presumptuous” Queens of the Stone Age - “My God is the Sun (Live at The Anthem)”Local Natives - “Wide Eyes (Live at 9:30 Club)”Red Not Chili Peppers - “Can't Stop”Greg runs through the shows that he's most thankful for seeing, particularly because the artists he saw have since passed. In 2001, Greg and a college buddy had the chance to catch Pantera at Towson Center Arena. That same year, Greg's interest in jazz is piqued when he attends a Michael Brecker Masterclass at the University of Maryland. Finally, his freshman year of high school, he stood front and center for the Stone Temple Pilots show at the Patriot Center. Songs:Pantera - “Walk'Michael Brecker (w/ Herbie Hancock and Roy Hargrove) - “The Sorcerer (Live at Massey Hall)”Stone Temple Pilots - “Crackerman”Jay received the best kind of Christman present from his Aunt Patti, concert tickets! In 1997 he saw American Bluegrass musician Russ Barenberg at a small venue in Tennessee. Next up, it's springtime, junior year in high school, and a weekend away with his girlfriend in Philadelphia to see the Dave Matthews Band. Finally, if you know Jay, you've likely heard this one. Bruce Springsteen at M&T Stadium, Jay is in the front row because of the Boss' general admission lottery system. (Check out the photo over on Instagram)Songs:Russ Barenberg - “Flabston and Chubby Go South”Dave Matthews Band - “Lie in Our Graves”Bruce Springsteen - “The Promised Land”

We are back from a great summer break! Check out our Frameform Patreon page for 6 awesome resources we released over the past few months ranging from Technical Tips for Video Editing by Hannah, a visual guide to all things Frameform by Jen Ray, a Zine by Clare, and more.Today's episode features two interviews that are linked by the Standard Vision + Dancinema showcase in Downtown Los Angeles and their trailblazing, alternative approaches to artistry and business.First up, we speak with Caroline Haydon of SVLA about the unique and impactful work they do to offer state of the art production support for artists of all kinds, including those looking to push the boundaries of dance and cinema. From industry-leading studio resources to one-of-a-kind performance and screening opportunities, Standard Vision is on the cutting edge of how to have mainstream impact while maintaining artistic integrity. In part two of today's episode, we connect with Nina McNeely, recipient of the SVLA Artistic Achievement Award for her music video “John L'' for Black Midi. Nina's work spans from small indie productions to large scale commercial works with some of the biggest names in media. She's a prime example that, as she said in her interview, “if you stick to what you believe in, the world will catch up eventually.”Learn and Explore More: Standard Vision WebsiteSVLA Studios LA WebsiteSV + Dream OutdoorStandard Vision Social LinksIG: @standardvisionFB:@standardvisionmediaVimeo: @standardvisionLinkedIn: @standardvision-llcNina McNeely:WebsiteSocial: ID @ninamcneelyTedTalk: "Once There Was III" -- a mesmerizing blend of dance, animation and techAnother great interview: Words that Move Me Podcast with Dana WilsonSubmit to Dancinema for the opportunity to be the next SVLA Award Recipient, be part of the online program, or screen as part of a theatrical event in Washington, DC and/or Vancouver, BC.DancinemaWatch On Demand  / Submit / Social @jenraydancinemaCASCADIA Dance & Cinema Festival (Vancouver, BC)Submit / Website / Social @cascadiadcfestivalCAPITOL Dance & Cinema Festival (Washington, DC)Submit / Website / Social @capitoldcfestival

We're "kicking it old school."  That means we're freewheeling, tooting, and dammit, we're cooking.  It's Summer time and the living is sweaty.  How do we know?  Well the damn shirts are off!  Shirts are still for sale (and we want to sell them).  Let's talk broken glass- stop wasting glass!  You better believe that if we're in Cocoa Beach, we're Jonning with Ron.  Michael says the word "calcified."  Let us know.   The song is really good on this one.  It's celebration week, nuptials, recordings, and the hits- all of them.  Anxiety? We've got it!  Grooves aren't just for Stella, we're finding ours again as well.  We both agreed- this one was a lot of fun."Oy vey, oy vey, oy vey"Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/intheminivanFollow us on instagram: @intheminivanpodMax: @maxfine_Michael: @michaelrowlando_oFollow us on twitter: @intheminivanFollow us on TikTok: @intheminivanpodcastWe're on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTxCtwpkBssIljyG6tdJbWQGet in the Discord: https://discord.gg/YWgaD6xFN3Episode Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1wFErvfWgsRx3EPC3CnpNS?si=affc141ad9594224THE MASTER PLAYLIST: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2saxemA3MOXcjIWdwHGwCZ?si=ee3444c085714c46Kenny FunkSupport the show

Er ist noch immer im Trend: der Post-Punk und seine messerscharfen Gitarren, die wie Säbel durch die treibenden Schlagzeugrhythmen schneiden. Squid, Fontaines D.C., Black Midi, Dry Cleaning... oder eben Italia 90 aus Brighton. Die einzelnen Mitglieder dieses Quartetts, welches mittlerweile im Süden von London beheimatet ist, kennen sich schon seit ihrer Kindheit. Die Band existiert bereits seit 2015, man hat sich also mächtig Zeit gelassen für das Debütalbum... ...welches diese Woche unser Sounds! Album der Woche ist. Jeden Abend gibt's eine CD zum Gewinnen – immer zwischen 20 und 23 Uhr live auf SRF 3. Und natürlich sprechen wir in der heutigen Sendung auch über den kuriosen Bandnamen. (Nein, Gary Lineker spielt nicht in der Band mit.)

On this week's show, we wrap up the merry month of Debts-cember (and the year in general) with... the most honorable of mentions the runners-up that fill our cup the best of the rest of 2022  All this & much, much less! Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is over 2 rock-solid hours of musical eclectica & other noodle stories.

It's the end of another year, so we're discussing all our favorite albums of 2022. There's a ton of variety here and even more strangeness.

In the 11th episode of Reviewsic, Ian Pagan talks to Mr. Hutchings of University High School about black midi's Hellfire. Their conversation delves into Mr. Hutchings' history in a progressive rock band, the state of rock music in the 2020s, and the sheer chaos that black midi created with this record. Reviewsic is hosted and edited by Ian Pagan. Follow us on IG @wildcatspodcast

This week's guest is NNAMDÏ. The Chicago-based singer, rapper, producer and multi-instrumentalist has put out a ton of great music since 2020 (including his acclaimed new Sooper Records / Secretly Canadian album, Please Have a Seat). He's performed with Wilco, Sleater-Kinney, Black Midi, Jeff Rosenstock and Speedy Ortiz. He has garnered acclaim from Kasey Musgraves and he was named "Chicagoan of the Year" by the Chicago Tribune. Before he was an accomplished artist on the cusp of even bigger and better things, NNAMDÏ was living in the Chicago suburb of Lansing, drumming in rock bands and teaching himself to record by writing songs about butts for his friends. Recently, just prior to the release of Please Have a Seat and the upcoming U.S. tour (including an Oct. 20 show at Cactus Club), NNAMDÏ spoke with My First Band host Tyler Maas about making the new album, getting back on the road again, as well as some of the hopes and plans he has for the near future. Along the way, he also talked about playing drums in his middle school's jazz band, starting a group called The Para-Medics, playing basement shows and comic book shops in high school, dabbling in self-recording and rapping, and how lighthearted material about booties and inside jokes inadvertently paved the way to a successful solo career. My First Band is sponsored by Mystery Room Mastering, Lakefront Brewery and Music Go Round Greenfield. The show is edited by Jared Blohm. You can listen to My First Band on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify and wherever else you get podcasts. You can also listen to rebroadcasts of previous My First Band episodes on WMSE every Wednesday from noon to 12:30 p.m. CST. Music used in this episode comes courtesy of Devils Teeth ("The Junction Street Eight Tigers") and NNAMDÏ ("Grounded").

Depending on your frame of mind, black midi are either an acquired taste or one of the most essential bands of the 21st century. On their new album Hellfire, the trio continues to push their maximalist sound to its limits while polishing the execution of their high-minded art till it shines brighter than ever. If finding beauty deep within absolute chaos is your idea of a good time then tap in as we discuss one of the wildest, and best, albums of 2022 to date. PLUS! Music we love from California Celtics The Fire, and new sounds from the wild, wonderful world of The A's (Amelia Meath and Alexandra Sauser-Monnig)!

It seems a lot of early '00s bands have been rolling out music lately. Recently, we've gotten new material by The Mars Volta, Wilco, and Arcade Fire, but the list truly goes on. Now, Interpol is the latest early aughts icon to release a new project with their seventh studio album The Other Side of Make-Believe. On this week's Indiecast episode, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen discuss the band's legacy and how their new music compares to their early catalog (33:13).This week also had a few headline-worthy indie news stories. Lana Del Rey went public with her new boyfriend Jack Donoghue, who happens to be in the witch house band SALEM (1:38), prompting the question: "How the hell did those two meet?" Perhaps the most baffling news this week came from the January 6th hearings, where an ex-member of far-right group The Oathkeepers wore a Descendents t-shirt while testifying. Of course, Descendents were quick to distance themselves from the organization (6:57).The Recommendation Corner (50:26) this week has Ian revisiting The Blood Brothers discography while Steven shouts out the new album by Nightlands, the instrumental side project of The War On Drugs' Dave Hartley.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

SHOW NOTES 2m59s: Everdell, Roll Player: Adventures, Dog Park 6m14s: Erica and Scott chatted with the Laukats about making games as a family in Ludology 251 - All In the Family. 10m17s: Gil and Geoff discussed ludonarrative dissonance in games in Ludology 190 - Diabolus in Ludica. 11m22s: The sequence in question from the documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse. 12m33s: Sorry, spoiler alert! Hitchcock's Psycho had a legendary twist. 18m32s: Brenna mentions the productivity apps Toggl and ClickUp. 35m35s: A good sample Colvini brainburner is Carolus Magnus. Also Samurai, Sharang's episode Ludology 230 - Design Re-Verb, High Society 36m47s: The New Complexity school of music, Brian Ferneyhough, Conlon Nancarrow and his wild player piano music. (We should also mention the more recent phenomenon of Black MIDI music, like this MIDI version of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody with 2.06 million notes.) 41m06s: Coherence, recommended by Banana Chan in Ludology 228 - The Roles We Play. 44m04s: Brenna's 3 composers she'd have over for dinner: Kaija Saariaho, Giacinto Scelsi, and Frederic Rzewski 45m13s: Gil was close! It was Charles Ives, at a performance of his music. The exact quote: "You goddamn sissy... when you hear strong masculine music like this, get up and use your ears like a man!"

I feel like I've been very close to meeting Marta for sometime now. When I went to the Sonic Ranch and met Brad Cooke he was mentioning this amazing woman who was a tape whisperer and I was determined to meet her. She sounded like the coolest! I had also heard her name through the master of mastering, Heba Kadry and then she sounded even more like the coolest! I managed to get in touch with Marta and we started talking about this interview a long time ago. I almost thought it might not happen but here we are! Marta is a force. She's worked on some very special music and I think that's no coincidence. She brings a deep understanding and passion to everything she does and the extra care and analog workflow really makes a huge difference when she does it, expecially with the tape effects and treatments in full view. Love that! She's worked with Bjork, Animal Collective, M.I.A., Frank Ocean, FKA Twigs, Black Midi, Holly Hearndon and the list goes on and on! just much great work. At the MPG Awards, she won Breakthrough Engineer of the Year in 2018. !!!! We had such a lovely chat. So happy this one finally happened :) As a nod to Marta's tape passion, the nitty sees me hearing double as I delve into the delightful world of ADT. It was a technique invented by Ken Townsend in the Beatles era and it still sounds so juicy as an effect when performed with a real tape machine. Essentially you're layering 2 copies of a track with something that sounds very similar but different to the source. During my experiments, I came across maybe my fave treatment on a nitty. Just sublime!

Over the last two years they wrote, recorded and self produced their debt album, Unlearning  (Out April 1st on Lucky Number Music).  In this episode Joe talks with 2 members of the sextet, singer James and keyboardist/guitarist Finley.   James and Finely share the process of making Unlearning , why they wanted it to sound "scrappy", how that forced them to think differently and why self producing gave them a sense of childlike wonderment.   We learn what drives them to have a strong stylized aesthetic and they share a couple stories from their experience playing the Celine show in Paris.  They also discuss the influence of new wave AND no wave and tell us what they love about touring. We hear a couple tunes from Unlearning.  https://waltdisco.bandcamp.com/musichttps://www.luckynumbermusic.com/releases/https://www.izotope.com/https://us.minorfigures.com/
