I went into this record blind, hadn't heard of him or his band. The musicianship, detail, song writing, humour, scope & ambition....this is such a refreshing album.
Black was a noise rock group who became more influenced by progressive rock and jazz fusion with their second and third album. Not the easiest listen, but worth the effort.
This seriously is one of the best albums of the year. Geordie Greep takes what he was doing on Black Midi and leans even further into the Jazz Fusion aspects of it. This is a truly batshit album, but such a rewarding one too, you need to listen to it if you haven't
_The New Sound_ is a reflection of modern masculinity, that's my thesis. The character Greep builds throughout the album describes someone who builds an image that's more for other people than himself, his portrayal is a self-assured scumbag but reveals an oddly sweet, sensitive side that's still rather pathetic and lonely, but it's heartfelt at the same time for how honest it is.
@@Pandamasque I saw the Fantano interview first, five minutes into it I knew I would like the guy’s music, never listened to Black MIDI. I did not, however think it would be EXACTLY MY SPEED, but it is.
I was listening to "The New Sound" for like the 100th time yesterday and wondered "has Justin heard this yet? What would he think?" And a few hours later, he answered my thought
Amazing. The awkward time shift when the vocal enters, hinting at the story to follow. The video a perfect accompaniment to the song. It's like prog-rock Randy Newman.
Even the intro solo starts on an awkward beat. Not enough to be too weird, but just a tad bit right of the first beat. I think thats there to just add to the story of this extremely awkward character. Just a masterfully written song.
There's a definite Donald Fagen/Steely Dan vibe in "Holy, Holy" and I think it's purposeful. They share an aesthetic of being both serious about music and flippant an irreverent at the same time, and it works because it's honest. That said, I'm convinced Geordie is is own man, and has a crystal clear vision of what he wants in his music. Great!
Steely Dan's Peg is real simple chords, just with Jazz Modulation, which is the Modes which are just the same 7 notes of the scale but that you can play all of the scales/keys to any of the others. Just have to KNOW the scales to make it work. Black Sabbath can find their way to Phrygian's min2nds, and Lydian sharp 4ths, they just don't know they're using the Modes or that the Modes are what's going to make it sound strong. Elton John does. Brian Wilson finds his way to them, The High Llamas managed to find how Brian Wilson found them. But it's basic stuff. It's just not Rock and you're not gonna find them by trying to Rock, even though Modal Interchange is the Blues that makes Jazz sound like Jazz, letting Duke Ellington bring Jazz to Classical, and George Gershwin bring ... Jazz to Classical. Duke Ellington made Jazz Symphonic. Lalo Shifrin and Quincy Jones, Burt Bacharach, they know the modes. Rogers and Hammerstein TEACH them "Do, Re, Me, Fa, So, La, ti, Do".
@@christeuma Fascinating information. I saw a video where Donald Fagen explained how he used some 4ths and major 7ths to change the flavor of a gospel or blues chord progression into something different, but that's rather far afield from this video, which is fine, so I'd like to emphasize that while I might hear some connection to Steely Dan, that's just my initial reaction as a die hard fan of theirs. What he's doing harmonically is way beyond anything that I can begin to understand technically, and I am enjoying it immensely, and always appreciate something new and different, which this achieves in spades.
I was unsure about this song until it gets to the "sophisticated tart" part and it becomes a Las Vegas fever dream with descending piano and his vocals really come out. Amazing song.
I literally tripped over black midi earlier this year when "suntzu" came on to my car radio, and I've delved into geordie greep incessantly ever since. It's a revelation, this new album.
Absolutely astounding musician. I saw him with Black Midi early last year. The drummer and he were probably two of the most accomplished musicians I've seen for a fucking long time.
This song randomly popped up on my TH-cam, and I didn't know who Geordie Greep was, but I clicked on it anyway since sometimes TH-cam gives me great recommendations. I was blown away immediately and became an instant fan.
I like how it starts out composed (in the other sense), with words that fit to meter, and structure like that, and then after "the reveal" the list of haphazard demands, requests, and apologies - kinda - more and more need to be just jammed into the lines of the song, cram in as many words as possible, increasingly impulsive, compulsive, something like that, and his character is getting more enthusiastic with the idea, as new bits of it tumble out, one over the other. I think maybe the character even gets a bit nicer to his stage prop? "If that's all right with you" isn't something that you'd expect in the initial part of this, before he's kind of signed her up to be a partner in crime. Kinda. In a short time, he tells a lot of story, is what I think.
I also love this about it! The lyrical callbacks really add to this too, "when I tell you your pussy is holy" and "I want you to put your hand on my knee" are a couple of several lines in the second half that repeat statements from the first half but in a more desperate, pathetic, even anxious way. It's such a good device to use the first half of the song to show the situation through the image he has built for himself, and then use the second half to show us behind the curtain and the sheer insecurity that's behind the bravado while recontextualizing lyrics from the first half. Just really brilliant stuff.
I've been waiting for this!!! I was missing black midi then he came out with this gem and I've been obsessed with it since. My album of the year for sure
An amazing song, and even better in the context of the album. Astonishing live too, what a talent Geordie Greep is. I've been waiting for Justin to review this for a while. Great to hear Justin is a fan of the incredible Donny Benet too!
Got to see Geordie play a few times (along with the other members of Black MIDI), my daughter was in the same class at BRIT School. He was a wiz on guitar back then and a big Genesis fan, if memory serves me well... Great artist!
Agreed Justin. Highest-order lyricism and interesting musicianship. Just when I was about to become jaded with 'yoof' music, this comes along. A rare, exciting talent. Ps: Those who imply that he is misogynistic, obviously haven't listened to (or understood) the song. The character in this song is fragile, insecure and always considers the needs of the female protagonist regardless of his obvious fantasy. Part of the masculine condition that he has obviously realised.
Greep is 100% goodly opinionated about women, though his (read: black midi) fans are still a sausagefest and I was one of maybe half a dozen girls at his gig in Liverpool the other month 😭
He's playing the role of a macho front of an insecure man engaging in the toxic aspects of masculinity, his dates are prostitute, the holy refers to how he kids himself to have a following, the jihadi word is a reference to Andrew Tate bragging about having ISIS supporting him, who ofc is the ultimate example of these types of people. The video is showing him getting strike after strike until the end where the facade is wearjng off and he directly acknowledges the nature of the situation. It's art.
Musically it’s great! Lyrically it’s hilarious! It’s almost like a Monty Python bit but it’s actually technically complicated and interesting. (Which Python routines frequently also were) And everyone probably knows about an individual who thinks about themselves like this without irony. I love it!
Love how psyched you are for this one Justin! Now that you’re on a new music spree, Man Man has a really awesome, deep, and varied catalouge. They put out an album this year that rips, sort of Zappa/ Waites but poppier surf rock.
I’d say the guitar playing itself is very Mahavishnu era John McLaughlin. And the Latin Jazz fusion style stuff reminds me of Gato Barbieri. Im sure they were both influences.
I knew nothing about Geordie until last week and came to him blind and suspicious but I was bowled (!) over by him in a way that rarely happens. He gets stronger on relistens and stronger still in interviews which show him clearly understanding what he has done, is doing and wants to do. He precisely makes goals for himself and scores them. It was a perfect idea to appropriate a sense of the Jesus Quintana character and setting from The Big Lebowski.
Radical feminist here! And a big, HUGE fan of this song and Geordie Greep. Not buying the whole incel or misogyny either. This guy is just an eminent story teller. And the music is astounding.
I see the song as maybe little things and details that you might think to yourself but never utter out loud or act upon. Almost like a song out of subconscious thought
I also thought that apart from the comments about hearing a steely Dan influence, Justin’s identifying a Santana influence in the guitar parts (and the Latin percussion also probably) was on point. What was their most recent top hit (now probably 10 years ago) but that is what I think I heard.
The epitome of artistry. He makes it seem so easy! I totally agree that 6 minutes seemed like 2! I'm inspired to try the stream of consciousness thing and see how it goes!
Heard him the first time earlier today. Sounds like something a 40+ year old could have written. Great stuff, his vocals is different 'a hit or miss' thing. I liked it. I did not think about Earth Wind & Fire for one bit actually, and that's talent right there. To me that's one big key to great songwriting. Borrowing without stealing per say, Donny Benet has done this from me, but he still managed to bring out a fantastic song. I covered one of his songs, so i guess he wanted to give a music flirt back. If you're skilled at what you do you can take inspiration and get a familiar feel, but still enjoy it for what it is. It's when you get that feeling of annoyance. As per example the shitty Moves Like Jagger. The only "good musical part in it" is a funky guitar directly stolen from Longtrain Runnin'. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth
Johnny Nash and Neil Diamond tributes at the start of the video mark new musical high points for the JHRA. Well done. Clearly, the loss of Black Midi is a devastating blow for the Windmill pub scene in London, but perhaps Geordie Greep's solo career might fill that void in the London pub rock scene, though it may never trouble the UK top 50 album charts. However, the single "Holy, Holy" has split opinion in the BM fandom, and could possibly prove to be a messy misstep in Greep's solo career.
Tou should do a show about a late Canadian band, the Tragically Hip. Unknown mostly outside of Canada but they had a massive impact on us. Sadly, Their singer Gord Downey died of brain cancer. A great loss.
@dddgtsd Brel permeates the album and his performances. It's likely that he got to Brel through Scott Walker (as most english-speakers have), but the inspiration is unquestionably from Brel himself as opposed to the covers
@@rafaeltheraven yeah cos I was thinking Scott Walker but the version of Walker that I hear in this song is Walker when he covers Brel. Agree with you.
I went into this record blind, hadn't heard of him or his band. The musicianship, detail, song writing, humour, scope & ambition....this is such a refreshing album.
Same!
Black Midi are FIRE I believe the youngsters say nowadays. They just flourished over 3 records. ENJOY.
Go listen to Black Midi, it’s very similar in some ways. All the ways it’s different are great too. He wrote a lot of the songs
@Blueskies2513yeah blues is a really goddamn good track, prob my favourite
Black was a noise rock group who became more influenced by progressive rock and jazz fusion with their second and third album. Not the easiest listen, but worth the effort.

The New Sound and Place to Be by Julian Lage are my favorite music of this year, and almost everything Kendrick dropped.
Humanreview .Black midi no more ?.Yes just thinking of Santana at Woodstock
_The New Sound_ is a reflection of modern masculinity, that's my thesis.

He talks about it in his interview with Fantano.
@@Pandamasque I saw the Fantano interview first, five minutes into it I knew I would like the guy’s music, never listened to Black MIDI. I did not, however think it would be EXACTLY MY SPEED, but it is.
He has said that the song is about Andrew Tate.
This was honestly my song of 2024.
oh hey walter, funny to see you here! same, probvably song of the 2020s so far if i'm honest
Same tbh. Its by far my favorite off the album too, everything about it is perfect, its up there with the greats.
walterooski nation represent!
yoo sup walt! fancy seein you here! black midi deep dive when??
My song of the year is the magician from the same album
Finally! Greepers rise up!
Btw the bassline is probably inspired by Earth, Wind & Fire - Let's Groove
It's also reminiscent of The RAH Band's Messages from the Stars.
@@richardpierce1559 Good catch! Its like an amalgamation of the 2
Was literally gonna say the same thing. Brought Let’s Groove to mind straight away!
It is for sure
@@richardpierce1559 THAT'S it
I was listening to "The New Sound" for like the 100th time yesterday and wondered "has Justin heard this yet? What would he think?" And a few hours later, he answered my thought
Listened to Geordie for sometime now. I find myself going to bed still repeating the songs in my head with utter chaos and alarm. Absolutely love it.
Amazing. The awkward time shift when the vocal enters, hinting at the story to follow. The video a perfect accompaniment to the song. It's like prog-rock Randy Newman.
Even the intro solo starts on an awkward beat. Not enough to be too weird, but just a tad bit right of the first beat. I think thats there to just add to the story of this extremely awkward character. Just a masterfully written song.
Would love to hear a Randy Newman version of holy holy
There's a definite Donald Fagen/Steely Dan vibe in "Holy, Holy" and I think it's purposeful.

The first thought that came into my mind
Totally
There are a few other Steely Dan-ish moments on the rest of the album too. Fun stuff!
I was unsure about this song until it gets to the "sophisticated tart" part and it becomes a Las Vegas fever dream with descending piano and his vocals really come out. Amazing song.
I saw him live recently at Pitchfork festival and I absolutely loved him. Already got tickets to see him next year. My favourite artist currently.
You either die a hero or live long enough to hear the guy from The Darkness read out your name.
Was an excellent comment…. it was bang on 😂
@clarep4833 oh stop 🥰
I literally tripped over black midi earlier this year when "suntzu" came on to my car radio, and I've delved into geordie greep incessantly ever since.
It's a revelation, this new album.
Watching this blow Justin’s mind is very satisfying - I’ve been waiting for him to cover this one
Earth Wind and Fire, Let’s GROOVE
Yep 👍
I got that immediately. Such a recognizeable bassline
and, in a way, 'I'm Free' by Roger Daltrey
Second half of this song is so beautiful
one of the few things this year that I am genuinely impressed with
Love the Santana meets Steely Dan vibe. Awesome.
The New Sound is a masterpiece, one of the greatest albums of this century thus far
he owes you a pint Justin never heard of him or Black Midi before but now I'm hooked bonkers brilliant great stuff
You are introducing me to so much wonderful new music. Thank you, Justin!!
Absolutely astounding musician. I saw him with Black Midi early last year. The drummer and he were probably two of the most accomplished musicians I've seen for a fucking long time.
Please keep spotlighting these lesser known artists. Fantastic!
This song randomly popped up on my TH-cam, and I didn't know who Geordie Greep was, but I clicked on it anyway since sometimes TH-cam gives me great recommendations. I was blown away immediately and became an instant fan.
Thanks for bringing this to the channel. Very refreshing and very tight. There's still hope for new music played by real musicians.
Black Country, New Road also falls under this category for me. amazing stuff
I LOVE GEORDIE GREEP

The New Sound album is brilliant. Every track commands your attention and musically, it’s expertly done 🔥🔥 one to watch live for sure
Desperation, ambition, striving and strife.
Lyrically, it's a bit 'Swiss Toni', cracked me up 😂
He's Holy and he's bowling. Hes a Holy Roller.
the instrumental is wonderfully lush with incredible character lyricism, it's really something.
I’m happy you agree how ruddy fabulous he is!- my son & I can’t wait to see him in April!
obsessed with this tune in a way i haven't been obsessed for a while, outrageous stuff
Got to see Geordie play a few times (along with the other members of Black MIDI), my daughter was in the same class at BRIT School. He was a wiz on guitar back then and a big Genesis fan, if memory serves me well...

I saw him play this live the other week, it’s even more incredible in that setting when you’re there.
Album of the year. No contest.
The album is wild.
The moment I heard this I thought of your Scott Walker video. The crooning, character embodiment and lyrics really brings early Scott to mind. "Next!"
what an album is love greep a true artist
Love love love this album!!! Favorite from this year.
Very original - I love it - I am going to listen to more of him.
This was so different but amazing, the lyrics were hysterical, nice one 😆
I don’t buy the misogyny thing here either, he is critiquing the behavior of MEN, not women. Some people want to be mad at their allies.
Greep is 100% goodly opinionated about women, though his (read: black midi) fans are still a sausagefest and I was one of maybe half a dozen girls at his gig in Liverpool the other month 😭

Earth wind and fire.lets groove is the music
Just saw him live two nights ago, was great !
Live he is incredible… like Zappa , AlDi meola , Mark E Smith , a genius
You should check out the band, Raketkanon, if you're not already aware of them.
I’d say the guitar playing itself is very Mahavishnu era John McLaughlin. And the Latin Jazz fusion style stuff reminds me of Gato Barbieri. Im sure they were both influences.

This is just too good. I love it!
my album of the year
What an amazing song! Would love to hear this live. Great video too. Off to watch the Big Lebowski now 👀
Really exciting album. The use of strange and unsavory protagonists reminded me of some of Alex Cameron’s work
Earlier this year I considered myself well and truly Greeped.
He is astounding. Loved black midi but this blew my mind when it came out
Very impressive album. This young man is so talented. 👏🏻
Love the Calexico reference, you're spot on!
I see the song as maybe little things and details that you might think to yourself but never utter out loud or act upon. Almost like a song out of subconscious thought
This track is great, but The Magician is easily the best track of the year
That vocal style and melody really gives me the vibe of one of the songs from Jesus Christ Superstar
Loved your song about the smudge , classic ❤😂
Yeah the World needs more Greep.
That is truly the music of madness, but it seems very clever and well-executed.
Starts like Hardwire to self Destruct ❤
Well, that was quite the rabbit hole… thanks for introducing us to Mr Greep
Album of the Year.
Outstanding stuff, my LP of 24, I have it on repeat.

“Let’s groove tonight “ by Earth wind and fire “. First record I ever bought. Primarily because it has a robot voice at the start.☺️
Jazzy 💃reminds me of a song Tarantino would pick for one of his movies 👍
this album is dope
WONDER WOMAN!!!

It's looking like my album of the year.
It reminds me of an Earth Wind and Fire song, but I don't know which one. I love it all 🎉
this song is even better live as well
I get major 'Lets Groove' vibes from this song.
Johnny Nash and Neil Diamond tributes at the start of the video mark new musical high points for the JHRA. Well done. Clearly, the loss of Black Midi is a devastating blow for the Windmill pub scene in London, but perhaps Geordie Greep's solo career might fill that void in the London pub rock scene, though it may never trouble the UK top 50 album charts. However, the single "Holy, Holy" has split opinion in the BM fandom, and could possibly prove to be a messy misstep in Greep's solo career.
That bass line is giving walkie talkie man
Greepvember coming is strong
I Can't wait Wait `~Nu Shooz
Cracking tune.
Excited about the new Darkness album!
Its giving me a Poison Arrow by ABC Vibe and i bloody love it. The theatrical way he plays with words is awesome!
Good song !!!!, When you said aha you sounded like trio Da Da Da. Cheers Terence
I liked it very much!
Tou should do a show about a late Canadian band, the Tragically Hip. Unknown mostly outside of Canada but they had a massive impact on us. Sadly, Their singer Gord Downey died of brain cancer. A great loss.
Just recently discovered them by chance. Awesome band.
I had heard the name before but I didn’t really learn about them until I caught Bruce McCulloch live a few months back
Greeptasticness !
Justin you must try catch him live, truly awe inspiring
If Boogie Nights had been written by Jacques Brel.
I compared it to Scott Walker but it's def more the Brel written tracks so Brel is definitely more apt.
