The New Sound is the debut solo album by English musician Geordie Greep, released on 4 October 2024 through Rough Trade Records. It is the first album to be released by a member of Black Midi since their indefinite hiatus. Upon release, the album was met with acclaim, with many critics praising its ambition and fusion of genres.[1][2]
Recording
[edit]The album was recorded in both São Paulo and London, and features over thirty session musicians. According to Greep, half of the tracks were done with local Brazilian musicians pulled together at the last minute. They had never heard anything he had done before, and were just interested in the demos he had made.[3]This is Greep's first album since the hiatus of black midi.[1]
