Very cool fact, very wild movie lol
@@dreaditate3264 yea I saw it in a theatre unaware it was by Gasper Noe and had a really intense experience, I remember when the film ended I had a massive headache and the guy behind me said "that was the worst film I've ever seen" to his friend haha I was like "same, loved it"
This suddenly makes a lot more sense lol. Thanks for the connection.

This is what a Hieronymus Bosch painting sounds like.
The music video even seems to have some elements of Bosch too ahahahah
that's actually an amazing description of the band's music as a whole goddamn

rip black midi you came into my life during one of the worst times of my life, made it weirder, then broke up with no explanation. 👍 😪

I can definitely hear the Usher influences
Ha
bit of Pitbull too
I'm hearing a bit of biggie smalls and Ninja Sex Party personally
For real though, what would you recommend that sounds like this? Only Chondromalacia Patella & Hogwash and Balderdash from the album are in the same territory, so I was a little disappointed.
@@matthewhallinan6453 I've heard lots of comparisons to The Mars Volta, but I haven't confirmed that for myself

You know, Frank Zappa is smiling in the heavens, i'm sure.
Beautiful comment and true
My thought exactly.
I seriously doubt it, although if he were still alive he'd find an album in it
And I think Tim Smith would be as well.

isn't this direct reference to the movie "sweet charity"? pretty awesome
@@conjointoates Oh wow I had no idea! That's crazy!
Her name is Nina McNeely and yes she's as incredible as this video would make you think she is.
@Erin, I thought that too
Black Country dropped their album but then squid dropped their singles, and then black midi dropped theirs too, and it seems like there is just an insane level of inspiration amongst this British art rock explosion... reminds me of the Aus/Japan psych rock blow up but it feels like this is happening a lot faster.
Truly an incredible time to be a rock fan overall

Yes me too!!!
Gonna tell my kids this is “The Rite of Spring”
Well, considering that during the next black midi concert I attend I will become The Chosen One and abide by John L and Geordie Greep's commands to commence the Sacrificial Dance, there are multiple parallels between Black Midi and Stravinsky if you really think about it...
This isn’t the Rite of spring?
Stravinsky or Picciotto?

Noice!

Like a grand dance
listen to your heart but honor your head
It's not about what your name is, or what your game is
We all agree this is an amazing track, but my God that's the greatest dance choreography I've ever seen. The performance was just as creative and absurd as the music
You should check out Climax by Gasper Noe then. The same choreographer worked on that movie.
Amazing track? My little cousin could make something that sounds better than this garbage. Do people just not have any taste these days?
yes
"A man is his country. Your country is you. All bad is forewarned. All good will come true." I get chills every time. Lol.
That line is what got me hooked on this song on my first listen
OMFG, that's such an amazing artistic purpose
They move with a purpose.
such a magnificent purpose
Oh, what a purpose
Oh, it is such a purpose. Such a purpose.
But they don’t care at all
This is like Primus meets Daughters on another planet
actually that's pretty spot on we reckon
The new additions especially on saxophone are amazing
The vocals and storytelling style on this is very Les Claypool
That is spot on, great shout
It’s more like Primus meets Swans
He sound like a legendary old English sailor who disappeared and now lives in isolation in a cave by the sea, only peeking his head out to sing this tale
Just Dance 2021 is crazy ngl
Who says there isn't any good, contemporary bands out there? This is great.

ty for ur performance (:
You are incredible, Kent!!! Congratulations!
Damn i loved Geordie's vocals in this, hope he follows through with that style, also the brutal prog vibe is amazing
Fantastic. This song sounds so much different than I expected, especially after hearing so many amazing performances of it. Reminds me of Larks’ Tongues in Aspic
Reminds me of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, and Captain Beefheart, love this s#it
Definitely, especially some Talking Drum/ The Great Deciever type stuff
It sound more like Neurotica or Indiscipline to me. But yes it has a Crimson vibe - good thing !
I saw the title and thought "that's my name."
Saw the video, and it's like a representation of being in my head.
If the rest of the album is this good, it’s gonna blow Schlogenhogen out of the water

Guys i hate to say this but this is the freshest freakiest funkiest jam ive heard in a long long time, it is now in my head and destroying my brain, thank you for this abominable gift
same wtf life is amazing
John 50
Honestly incredible stuff, we going into full on avant prog territory bois
The two singles on this album remind me of Zeuhl, specifically bands like magma and koenjihyakkei
@@droptherapy2085 Very much so! It's all very propulsive and jazzy, yet erratic.
@@corruptedmilk2481 my fave three new bands are
ORANSSI PAZUZU (sp?) - scandinavian PSYCHEDELIC METAL!
UNICORN HOLOCAUST - american "Candy-Coated-CHAOS!"
FOUR STROKE BARON - american NEW WAVE metal!
And i have yet to hear a stoner-prog band that's not brilliant. of course, to be in that genre, you are not permitted to be a copycat, or have unfun / uncreative band names, song titles, clothes, stagenames, etc, so it's kinda a given that every band is killer and unique!
@@dumpygoodness4086 Not totally sure what my favourite new bands are, I rather liked Black Midi's compatriots Squid, then you have Pottery which are a fantastic post punk/funk group, Slift are a pretty fantastic garage prog group.
That being said I can't stand stoner prog unfortunately, I conversely feel that all those bands are super similar, lots of super slow blues riffs with growly vocals, can't stand it and I can't tell the bands apart!
@@corruptedmilk2481 um...is this your first week as a music fan?
stoner PROG is ANTI-blues, and it's right there in the NAME:
stoner "PROG".
plus, no two stoner-prog bands sound remotely alike, so we can tell you've utterly confused STONER-ROCK with stoner-PROG.
*Lyrics*
Three encores of Oh Sonny Boy backed only by accordion
Three rows of pale brunettes protect him from the crowd
The curtain a patchwork of imitation vermillion
A red bulb hangs low above the throne that has been found
This is the scene on Main Street when John L comes to town
Crowds of every age, creed and gender are abound
Signor kitsch sings skits detailing each attendees sins
First time anteaters lose themselves in the wings
With vigour they scratch red spots, overwhelmed by their king
In all the world there’s no escape from this infernal din
“Children of Bethlehem, come all boys and girls,
Come Listen to these, my eternal words
Judge not who you see by whatever they may say
But by their round eyes, lips, ears and curves
A man is his country, your country is you
All bad is forewarned, all good will come true”
These words are heard on Main Street when John L comes to town
This garbling non-song whips throng into frenzy
The last echoes of his crooning now cease to be heard
No-longer-pale brunettes are broken in two
And thrown to the snouts of the anteater crew
John L is in tatters
His soapbox usurped
His torn robes adorn the
Tree stumps of the earth
No hack with an army
Will last long before he
Breeds men who yearn
For their own bloody glory
That was the scene on Main Street when John L came to town
A bunch of these are wrong. The correct lyrics are on bmblackmidi.com
@@basicbitchesband thanks, just edited them.
Props
Its kinda wierd because in the song he says "John Fifty" but in the lyrics it is written as "John L", with the L being the roman numeral for the number 50.

Imagine being a dancer minding your own business and being hired for this video
Further up, one of the dancers actually commented about how much he loved doing it lol.
This is actually a pretty accurate visual representation of what listening to this song feels like
I'll never forget the reaction my workmate had when he found my Spotify and literally shouted ''AY lets hear what OP is listening to''. I saw Black Midi on his phone and i was too late to say anything and could only watch as his face dropped to the floor. To this day hes convinced im a psychopath.
I really don’t know if I’ve ever been made this viscerally happy by a piece of music
this feels like the kind of video that gets recommended to everyone once every 2 years
yes
The mark of a great band is when they're literally *expected* to subvert expectation and yet still manage to do so. The UK is going to shit but fuck me our music just gets better and better.
It's only because the world's going to shit that Art's created...
@@aniruddhagowda8072 thats simply untrue. the whole argument that there needs to be bad things happening to create art is completely baseless
@@FisTheEvil I don't believe times of posperity are generative of good art either. Art is a discipline and many nowadays people lack that. Too much failure far before any "meaningful" returns.
@@earlyman7439 you're correct that art is a discipline for sure. but the notion that its absolutely derivative of suffering is false
@@FisTheEvil yep, I can get behind that notion. Art is representative of it's time when it comes to it's influences and subject matter, not it's quality
I can’t think of something more fun and yet simultaneously stressful as dancing this song…
It’s like the song’s begging to end. Everytime we listen to it, it suffers.
That was a elaborate gender reveal party for the baby
Oh my god 😭

This is my favourite Jojo opening
Lmao, fr Araki is gonna have a field day if he ever discovered this band😂 The fourth track "Chondromalacia Patella" alone is already worthy of JoJo stand/user/ability name lol
Delightfully unhinged. The choreography is so precise, yet so chaotic. Fits the song perfectly
I can finally hear the Taylor Swift influence on this track
I don’t know dude I got a lotta mario judah vibes
The UK independent stores version of this album has a Taylor Swift cover song, Love Story specifically.
It’s love story by Black Country, New Road🤦
This is bitter sweet becuase matt is on hiatus with the band. Hopefully he gets better soon so we can get another years ago.
It is a shame that he had to take a break, but on the bright side I think that's why we got the saxophone which is cool. Little silver lining.
They should just get another guitarist. A guy with balls to add an edge to the group
@@misakiyoshida if you think this doesn't have an edge I don't know what to say to you
@@misakiyoshida have you seen him in the Mercury performance? Or his vocals on years ago? That’s plenty evident enough that he’s integral to the band! We just need to see more of him.
I think matt played in the record, because he is in some pictures taken while they were recording
something about this is giving me some Mars Volta vibes and I am totally okay with that
I'm so glad to live in a age where absurdism is making a comeback
As an art movement, based. As the philosophical ideas sparked by Albert Camus? No thanks.

Excellent. The perfect nebulous chunk of Zappa, King Crimson, Saccharine Trust, and Return to Forever with a little later-era Miles Davis on a mushroom safari fever dream in the center of the Great Victoria Desert, with only variously-colored melted otter pops (no water) to drink.
Good to see Saccharine Trust mentioned although I find BM's music leans more towards the NYC camp than the SST camp (more Contortions than Minutemen)
Return to forever and Miles Davis are as close to this as Dolly Parton.
@@nicolasflamm Ahhh my boy, between the tight passages, timely licks and chaotic squeaking, both Miles and Corea’s crew are adequately represented in essence.
@@brendansnyder8872 I know people like to make this kind of connections based on pretty much nothing but their own album collection. This does sound proggy. But people here are mentioning so much bands, from Primus to whatever. I just listen it for what it is.
@@nicolasflamm Well I made the connection based on what their maneuvers and motifs reminded me of. Mentioning the bands that I did was accurate for me because a connection was made. Sure I can hear aspects of Primus in there in several places, but Primus didn’t pop into my head. Everything has inklings of something else, doesn’t mean it’s by design. Keep on listenin as you wish
I feel a smug aura coming off this video, like it's mocking me and I don't know why.
