![]() GW: How did it feel to play that Somerset House show? It felt like a really theatrical experience, I absolutely loved it! We went to our hotel in the airport, slept for one hour and then checked in here. It hasn’t been the easiest stretch, but the gigs themselves have all been great.ĬP: Yesterday afternoon, but we didn’t really sleep after our Somerset House gig as we had an early flight. It’s just been a bit of a nightmare travel wise, because a lot of these countries have a lot of tourism, so we’ve had a bit of a nightmare with flight cancellations etc. It’s surprising sometimes to see the size of the crowd we get. GW: Yeah, of course, and how do you feel about playing to this audience today, what are you expecting?Ĭameron Picton: We’ve been to a quite few places, particularly eastern Europe recently: we’ve done like five or six countries, and each crowd has been pretty crazy and up for it, which is pretty good. But that’s the great thing about what we do: the fact we’re just in Latvia right now is cool. But we played our biggest London show a few days ago in Somerset House. Morgan Simpson: Very cool, it’s obviously a bit strange knowing the record's out today and not being at home to celebrate in style. Gigwise: How do you guys feel about being in Riga today? Speaking about the new album, classified information, and Glee…check out our chat below. We caught up with the band the day of their set at Positivus Festival, which coincidentally also saw the release date of Hell Fire. With an army of up-and-coming projects taking large interest and influence from their musical style and techniques, I think it’s pretty obvious just how much of an important asset they are to the niche scene of progressive rock. To me, black midi are band that always seem to get it right. Either profusely praised for their idiosyncratic eye for detail, or just straight up slammed, it’s fair to say press towards them has always been a mixed bag.įriday 15 July saw them release their well-anticipated third studio album Hellfire, and so far, they've received a heap of well-deserved praise. Black midi are a band who’ve faced a deluge of praise and critique in equal measure over the years. ![]()
