Black Midi Unveil Details of Their Upcoming Debut LP 'Schlagenheim'

While The Strokes recently debuted their new record The Adults Are Talking during a live charity performance in Los Angeles, news of upcoming music from other bands have also surfaced. One such band is Black Midi, announcing the release of their Schlagenheim.

Black Midi is a progressive alternative/indie band from South London comprised of four members, whose musical influences span the likes of Talking Heads and Deerhoof. The rock quartet has been known to be relatively elusive online, but that hasn’t stopped them from unveiling details from their upcoming debut LP Schlagenheim. The album will be 43 minutes in length and consist of 9 tracks. According to press, most of the songs were created in the course of five days with Dan Carey — the producer for Bloc Party — guiding the compilation. Tracks like ‘BmBmBm,’ ‘Speedway, ‘Crow’s Perch,’ and ‘Talking Heads’ that have been released previously will be included on the LP as well.

Schlagenheim will drop on June 21 via Rough Trade Records. Take a look at the album art below and scroll further to see their tour dates.
