Cavalcade’ is the second album by London experimental/noise/math rock band black midi. It is the follow-up to their hugely acclaimed debut ‘Schlagenheim’. Just like its predecessor, ‘Cavalcade’ draws from a range of influences from King Crimson to 1990's Chicago post-rock and takes a number of exciting musical twists and turns. Another modern rock classic. *One copy of the standard LP in the UK will have a golden ticket inside.

Black Midi’s new album Cavalcade is to be released on 28th May. Cavalcade is a dynamic, hellacious, and inventive follow-up to 2019’s widely-praised Schlagenheim, “a labyrinth with hairpin-turn episodes and lyrics full of dourly corrosive observations” (New York Times, Best Albums of 2019).
It scales beautiful new heights, pulling widely from a plethora of genres and influences, reaching ever upwards from an already lofty base of early achievements.
