black midi have shared a fascinating new covers EP.
The band’s second album ‘Cavalcade’ landed in 2021, and won across-the-board rave reviews with its emphatic creativity.
Refusing to sit still, black midi have now shared a three track covers EP with a disparate cast of original authors.
black midi have covered King Crimson’s ’21st Century Schizoid Man’, featuring all three members – bassist Cameron Picton, guitarist Geordie Greep, and drummer Morgan Simpson – on vocals.
Alongside this, the band have swooped to cover Captain Beefheart’s ‘Trout Mask Replica’ classic ‘Moonlight On Vermont’.
Finally, black midi have covered Taylor Swift’s ‘Love Story’ – the group are long-time fans, seemingly, and the cover has been swapped online for some time now.
Designed as a heartfelt ode to the original, it’s certainly different from Taylor’s version – existing in its own terms, we guess radical overhaul is now the sincerest form of flattery.
Tune in now.
