Black Midi lose a member, announce new album with a video

The experimental UK rock band Black Midi has announced its second album 'Cavalcade' with a music video for the lead single, 'John L' (watch it below). The peculiar video was directed by choreographer and creative director Nina McNeely, whose previous projects include Rihanna’s 'Sledgehammer' visual and Gaspar Noé’s 'Climax'. According to Pitchfork, half of the album was written by individual members of the band at home before they brought it to one another during rehearsals. Also, guitarist/founding member Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin stepped away from the group to tend to his mental health, and was substituted by saxophonist Kaidi Akinnibi and keyboardist Seth Evans. Black Midi also released another new song 'Despair', the b-side to 'John L'; it won't be a part of the new album.
