black midi @ SXSW 2019 (Sam Huddleston / Live4ever)
‘It feels classic’, Speedy Wunderground‘s Pierre Hall has said. We certainly agree.
The label has today announced its Year 4 Compilation for release on December 6th, and some of the brightest, most engaging new talents in Britain right now are on there. These include black midi and their debut single bmbmbm, Squid‘s The Dial and Athen’s, France from Black Country, New Road.
“This definitely feels like a definitive collection for us,” Hall continued. “We love all the compilations, but this just feels like a real snapshot in time, all the bands and artists involved – despite being separate releases – all feel really connected.”
“We liked the idea of having it all in black and white this time. black midi, Black Country. It just seemed to make sense, especially in these times. It feels classic.”
