Geordie Greep unveils new solo single, "Blues"
Geordie Greep has shared "Blues" as the latest single taken from his forthcoming debut solo album, The New Sound.
"Blues" follows the album's lead single, "Holy, Holy". Following three albums with black midi, most recently 2023’s Hellfire, and almost non-stop worldwide tours for near-on five years, Geordie Greep has somehow found time to record his first solo album, The New Sound.
“With recording ‘The New Sound’, it was the first time I have had no one to answer to. And with every impulse I had, I was able to completely follow it through to its conclusion," Greep says. "Being in a band (black midi), we often have this ‘we can do everything’ feeling, but you are also kind of limited in that approach, and sometimes it's good to do something else, to let go of things.”
The New Sound is set for release on 4 October via Rough Trade, and is available to pre-order now.
