Black Midi Cavalcade (Gate) (Ogv)

"[T]he avant-rockers' follow-up is even more unnerving and gloriously surreal -- like gazing into hell through a kaleidoscope."
"There's no argument the dudes in Black Midi can play. They'll burn down your house with loopy time signatures and frenetic riffs if you let them."
4 stars out of 5 -- "CAVALCADE is a remarkable left turn. Across the album's eight songs and 40 minutes, they traverse noise rock, unhinged jazz, ambient folk and beyond."
Paste (magazine) - "CAVALCADE feels brooding and explorative. It's wordy and lyric-minded, with long, serpentine narratives that unfold like shape-shifting fruit roll-ups."
Pitchfork (Website) - "The UK band stakes out even more ground on their glorious second album. The chord changes are more elaborate, the rhythms more twisted, the pretty parts prettier, the heavy parts heavier."
