Black Midi interview: All good stuff is funny, through history

Guardian has an interview with Black Midi, nominated for the prestigious British Mercury Music Award, trying to explain their music. The journalist of the London paper says their album 'Schlagenheim' reminds her of "the ambience of the internet – a cacophonous, always shifting stream of sonic information that feels spellbinding in part because you can’t tell what’s coming next". Band's leader Geordie Greep says humor is the key: “I think the album is funny, definitely. The way the vocals are. I think all good stuff is funny, through history”. The band, although the critics like their debut a lot, didn't really see much success yet, but - “the contemporary response to something is hardly ever a sign of its worth”, Greep says.
