Black Midi are “indefinitely over”

Black Midi appear to be splitting up. The band’s frontman, Geordie Greep, has been playing solo shows this year, and over the weekend he went live on Instagram and said that “Black midi was an interesting band that’s indefinitely over.”

Bassist Cameron Picton then posted in a since-deleted tweet that was screencapped on Reddit: “We’d agreed to not say anything about ‘breaking up’ so I was as blindsided as everyone else last night but maybe in a different way. I guess sometimes all you can say is lol”

He continued: “Anyway! Starting sessions for my own record soon, looking forward – should be good, hopefully great!”

There’s been no official statement from the band about breaking up, but two out of three members of the group seems to make it official enough. One Redditor lamented that the band would be breaking up before the completion of the “Schlagenheim” album cycle, as they’ve only released S, C, and H. But it remains to be seen whether any more albums will materialize in the future.

During their short time together, Black Midi released three albums: 2019’s Schlagenheim, 2021’s Cavalcade, and 2022’s Hellfire, the latter of which was featured on our list of the 50 Best Albums of 2022.
