Best known as the frontman of black midi, Geordie Greep unveils a bold new chapter with "The New Sound," his debut solo album. Unfettered by band dynamics, Greep explores a theatrical world of avant-pop, jazz-funk, and surreal storytelling. Recorded with over 30 session musicians across two continents, the album draws comparisons to Frank Zappa, Scott Walker, and even Sinatra, blending absurdity and brilliance in equal measure. With lyrics steeped in desperation, fantasy, and dark humor—ranging from nightclub romances to goat births—Greep crafts a cinematic soundscape filled with cabarets, cafes, and twisted street life. "The New Sound" is not just an album; it’s a high-concept, high-drama sonic experience that defies expectation at every turn.
