LP - NEW/NEW - MY NEW BAND BELIEVE, My New Band Believe (Rough Trade; RT0600LPE, Europe 2026, Oxblood Vinyl + Black 10"), , As the bassist and sometime frontman of black midi, Cameron Picton and his bandmates practiced an explosive form of musical world-building, weaving complex storytelling through thrilling passages of controlled chaos. When the group called it quits in 2023, the artist didn t immediately feel like making a solo record or jumping back into another band. It was from this position of a not-quite team player, not-quite bandleader that Picton entered the studio and the seeds of My New Band Believe gradually began to emerge. The group s self-titled debut is a massive and hallucinatory record. It is a collection of music that swerves through wildly different emotional and thematic registers, all the while unraveling an endlessly compelling thread of dream logic. Picton is an unreliable but charismatic narrator, and together with an all-star cast including 7 members of caroline, Kiran Leonard, Caius Williams, Steve Noble, he guides the listener through a rapidly unfolding multi-verse of the band s making. The record is almost entirely acoustic, using the barest amount of reverb and electronic effects possible. Inspired by Bert Jansch s hypnotic, hard-driving guitar and Judee Sill s panoramic pop, My New Band Believe is both all-encompassing and constantly in flux. - 1636106E *** In Stock In Our Islington Shop ***
