Hey Jon, just wanted to let you know this video was awesome and I'm so glad you covered this band. Can't wait to see you delve deeper into some more bands like this. Hopefully we can see you get to Car Seat Headrest at some point!

Justin

My exact same reaction when hearing this for the first time Hope to see you react to Black Midi some day! They have a cross demographic of fans. From black midi’s first album expect the strange time signatures and chaotic nature of these songs but even more elaborated. Less emotional and more fun and off the walls with a quirky singer

Priam

I view the two albums as two sides of the same Gen Z coin, with the first being outwardly menacing, awkward and anxious while the second one is inwardly vulnerable, fragile and heartfelt.

Jakob

YES you have to react to Black Midi

Harry Wagman

Ye cavalcade by black midi is a must

Emiel Verhoef

I still don't get why they chose that version of Sunglasses for the album, it's borderline unlistenable compared to the single, legit sounds like a parody.

Josh Burcham

There are a lot of people who consider this the superior of the 2. I disagree but they exist. I heard one podcast that absolutely slandered AFUT and called it "crescendo core" and they aren't wrong but I found it pretty upsetting lol

Anthony Cutillo

I Disagree, I much prefer the newer Sunglasses version. However, I prefer the rawness of the vocals and lyrics on the original version of Athens, France by a bit though.

Cole Helvey

Definitely disagree with Sunglasses. The studio version is fucking awesome with near perfect performances. Something about the single version doesn't do it for me - probably mainly due to the mixing.

Anthony Cutillo

Jon, also along with Black Midi Id reccomend you check out Slint's "Spiderland". They're the band this band was often was referred to as their closest influence. It's a legendary album. Also I'd reccomend "The Glow Pt. 2" which is my favorite Indie/Rock album of all time. It's a very emotional one though.

Cole Helvey

Unrelated but Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues is a must here homie

Jeremy Hebert

Self titled and Helplessness Blues are indie classics no doubt about that

Ryan Severson

Cavalcade by Black Midi gotta be soon. Also, they’re getting ready to release another album in July.

Niall Swan

This is also worth listening to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwcew10n-yk Nervous Conditions was Black Country, New Road before they were BC,NR. The lead singer at the time (not Isaac) left after allegations of sexual assault. They then rebranded afterwards.
