It's actually a very cool detail how most of the video is blurred out like a hazy memory, as if the killer recollecting the day in their day. The ones that are the clearest are the people that matter most in the story because that was what they were focusing on during their plan. Guy/gal front row of the front row show and even shook Sugars hand before killing em. It's a very intimate,well shot video. Can't stop watching this video.
I think the parts at 0:59 and 2:55 really demonstrate that idea because most of the audience faces are either completely removed or blurred to the point of not being able to be seen, just like how in memory we don't really remember random people's faces and they all kind of blur together
I've been holding off on listening to all these new singles in their live shows so I can hear them all for the first time in their definitive studio recordings and watch the music videos with them, and so far it's been worth it. This is shaping up to be my favorite record by them.
been doing the same, however i did read all the lyrics that are on genius but now that we've got a date i'm going dark lol. definitely gonna listen to this album on repeat come the 15th
@MuserOfCydonia I feel like that's only true if you're actually there at the live show, not just watching a shaky phone recording from some random in the crowd.
I always imagined it as an object flying into the air at the end of this song, and then being caught by someone traversing through the jungle on its way back down at the start of eat men eat.
It's so beautiful! But I'm wondering how the process of coming up with it was, and why they came up with it.. Seeing that it's not that closely related to the whole boxing match thing, or maybe I'm missing something..
@@aya_____7921 I might be reaching but I think the motorcycle convoy scene happen post boxing fight. They also look kinda sad too which mean they are Sun Sugar's fan expressing they grief toward Sugar's death being the darkest event happen in boxing history. Thats whay im getting so far

Madness, limitless creativity, class, this is what could once again define the group. This song seems to me more accessible to the general public than others and yet. But it's still a ray of light in the middle of a stormy area. We broadcast the song on our independent radio station
@@litmf18 dude same. And the best parts of the guitar is kinda masked by the vocals at some points. Other parts of this version are equally as cool tho.
@@youtubeuserdan4017 same. Initially I preferred the KEXP ver, but over the day after four/five listens, I’m hooked. The three songs they’ve released are just a rocket ship of an opening for LP3. Just a couple more days…..
Main thing that I takeaway from this rn is that it sounds more pummeling than the KEXP recording which makes sense taking into account the track's theme.
That was INSANE!!! The fast section reminded me like a Frame By Frame intro on coke. You guys are fucking great. This new album is going to be magnificent.
Genuinely one of my favorite tracks to date! Great live performance on KEXP, amazing music video, and mind-blowing studio recording. Couldn't wait for this to finally come out :D
I think what's so good about them is that they don't settle. We could have gotten Schlagenheim 2 and 3 by now, each with diminishing returns, but instead we have this crazy shit that just sounds so much better than their earlier stuff. Best band in the world.
PUTA QUE PARIU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Que vídeo espetacular, experimentalismo absurdo, mandaram bem demais nisso aqui! Estou até com inveja, queria eu ter tido a ideia de fazer isso!

Sun Sugar’s pecs flexing in sync with the drums was the best part of this music video
The cut to the ref was even more satisfying

This was such a great choice for the fight scene in the new Minions movie

@@kinikinito was it good?
David Bowie would probably love this band.
Fuck, you're right. Wish he was around to hear them 💔
Considering how jazzy Blackstar was, you’re probably right.
Along with Zappa
He probably would have worked with them honestly. Like when he got really into Reznor’s stuff in the 90s.

Sixth of us?
The existence of smooth jazz implies the existence of rough jazz. And i think this is rough jazz
Triptych by Max Roach is rough jazz. The Lounge Lizards are rough jazz.
A lot of John Zorn’s work, especially Everyday Pox with Napalm Death, could be considered rough jazz. Also 21st century schizoid man by king crimson.
I love how literal this music video was! Usually bm’s music videos are cryptic as all hell, and I like that they switched it up for this!
yes
I totally agree; i really wanted to see the story visualized and this is just beyond my
expectation :D
Learn what literal means.
@@logansummers1551 motherfucker based on their previous music vids this pretty damn literal
@logansummers1551 ?? He did use literal correctly. What are you talking about?
how am i only JUST hearing about this group this is unbelievably good wtf. do they always go this hard?
Always.
This song is one of their best imo
Oh yeah.
Kinda hit or miss but there's some solid bangers
I really love Black Midi and their cinematographic universe.
yes
great video, great song. Guess I am going to have to dig way deeper into this
Holy shit Portugal. The Man x Black Midi when
@@ssbperidot5574 Hopefully never. But they should definitely listen to black midi and take some notes.
@@ssbperidot5574 Honestly I'd be down for this
How's the digging going, Port
It's so cool when popular artists acknowledge some indie ones.

What are gybe doing on the 15th?
GY!BM
nice pfp

can't wait to be utterly floored by *that* riff. TBE

@@mumkee5148 SURE FUCKIN IS, goddamn...
Definitely my best-aged comment, lmao
Never heard anything like this. It's like Frank Sinatra meets ELP. Jazzy, rocky, alternative, magic. So very original. Adore!
is it me or the the motorcycle convoy scene cinematography is so fucking beautiful
Mesmerizing. especially paired with the loungy and jazzy opening. So damn good.
This whole video should be shown on the big screen. So masterfully done.

"Sugar/Tzu" debuted at #7 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
The best TH-cam recommended video I've ever got
I love the intro so much. It’s only been 2 years but this album brings me back
the whole idea behind this song sells it for me. definitely my favorite from the album along with the defence
This might just be one of the best music videos ever made. RIP black midi
2:50 littearly me when john 50 comes to town
always heard of this band time to time, never heard a single song till now, found this on a whim, this seriously rocks as soon as i heard it
lyrics:
Ladies and gentlemen
Are you ready for the sporting event of the year?
To the thousands in attendance
And to the millions watching around the world
Let's see some thunder!
Posterity will show me to be
The greatest the world has ever seen
A genius among non-entities
The Leadweight clash of the century
February 31st, 2163
I was there, but could not see
Being a 3 foot 3 superfluous freak
Blinded by necks, upper backs and knees
Folded fat, flapped by the breeze
Sun Sugar, in the red trunks
Sun Tzu, in the blue
Both ran to the centre of the ring
While the rhinestone suit continued to sing
Sun Sugar, a simple man, cut from coarse cloth
Sun Tzu, seeking strength from a snakeskin broth
Weighing in at
A six hundred pounds
I ran through legs to the front of the crowd
And Sun Sugar came over
Sun Sugar came over and shook my hand
He turned away and I shot him in the back
Sun Sugar came over and shook my fuckin' hand
He turned away, and I might've shot him in the back
As Sun Tzu raised his arms
Crowned champ while Sugar bled on
No doctor on the scene
The audience won
Eventually found, I was sentenced to life
Spent reading the letters of a million wives
Sun Sugar came
Wouldn't be shit without me
The youngest executioner in tabloid memory
Now do the words on the papers
i will never not be floored by t h a t r i f f. been losing my mind over it since the kexp performance
It is literally too fast for my memory to properly reproduce, it's pure insanity.
It’s almost St Alfonzo’s Pancake Breakfast by Frank Zappa. You can actually fit the sugar tzu riff into the Zappa one. Same scale and all.
These kids got mad fucking skills. Compositionally, technically, really unbelievable stuff.
oh my god this album is going to be amazing. Every single has been a masterpiece and I couldn’t imagine that the other songs won’t be
You know it's a black midi banger when you hate it on first listen
YES
who the hell hates this at all
@@n0wh3r3f4s7 me. Not a fan. Friends keep telling me this is right up my alley, weird indie rock. I just can’t get into it. His vocal style annoys me.

What are the other two
@@endammir he got it wrong. it’s the 2nd perfect song on the album. there are 10 tracks total.
@@endammir the other two singles (eat men eat & welcome to hell)
0:44 ignore this time stamp practicing drumming to this part
This is a new addiction of mine
What the hell, man, all the tracks are like a soundtrack to a conceptual art exhibit. So good.
The video gives me massive David lynch vibes - the music and imagery is so in synch its perfect.
Saw this at a live show in Houston. This studio version is even more unhinged. Well done.
Kinda wish I was that kid with the revolver during the Paul, Tyson fight.

DUDE THIS ALBUMMMM
Just from hearing the Kexp performance this is one of my all time favorite songs. I really hope they have the sax melodies in the studio recording.
the lack of soprano sax in this version breaks my heart a little bit i can’t NOT hear it
@@litmf18 dude same. And the best parts of the guitar is kinda masked by the vocals at some points. Other parts of this version are equally as cool tho.
They don't but GOOD GOD Morgan sounds fucking amazing in this track. Right now honestly like it more than the KEXP ver.

How does every single keep getting better? This album is going to be freaking crazy
That was INSANE!!! The fast section reminded me like a Frame By Frame intro on coke. You guys are fucking great. This new album is going to be magnificent.

That last bit sent my neck into knockout that's for sure
This is definitely their most literal video
i can not wait for this album
nothing else sounds like this
HELL YEAH BLACK MIDI!
Nothing else sounds like this for good reason, tbf.
RIP tTHE BEST NEOSWING BAND EVER 😔
If that’s Greep’s mouth on the monkey I’m going to lose it
Probably my favourite one yet, everything is so special about this band.
Oh my. Their best song by far.
Esto si es cine
the best song ever
best track they've done since the last one
I'll keep it simple.............absolutely bonkers and I'm up for it.
That sound, well that sound makes my heart ache with joy
They just keep getting better and better.
One of the best music videos ever made. Paired with some of the best music ever made.
One of the bands ever.
TBE
this is me when i see a boxing match against sugar and tzu
that was the scene on main street when sugar fought tzu
Love the “St Anger snare” at the end 😜
No, I actually do love it.

Still as good as the first listen
i love this song so much
0:20 i like that trippy gaze from this guy
I'm personally a big fan of the 0:28 guy. It's like he's looking directly at my soul.
Holy shit this new album is going to be a 10/10 isnt it.
