Improvisation was always key to black midi, right down to the news of their hiatus. “black midi was an interesting band that’s indefinitely over” Geordie Greep wrote in a comment on Instagram Live this week. Bandmate Cameron Picton wrote and then deleted a subsequent post confirming that Greep’s announcement was true but unplanned (“blindsided as everyone else last night but maybe in a different way”). ⁠
⁠
Whatever the future holds (both Greep and Picton have already shared early details of solo work) they leave an impressive footprint. Passionate and uncompromising, they arrived with a broad vision of what a guitar band could be. ⁠
⁠
Drawing upon their youth, creativity, and countless hours spent jamming, they were able to build a universe of characters and ideas while also acknowledging that it’s inherently funny to harbor such epic ambition.⁠
