black midi Share New Song "Talking Heads"

black midi have shared new track "Talking Heads" on digital services. It will be released, alongside the band’s recently shared single "Crow’s Perch", as a double A-side 12" on 17th May (US later in May). Stream/buy the track digitally here and pre-order the 12" here. 

“We’ve always tried to make it heavy but danceable, melodic but good rhythms,” says black midi vocalist and guitarist Geordie Greep of "Talking Heads". “It is accessible music, there are experimental aspects that we’ve taken from when we went crazy at the beginning, we’ve just reigned it in to make something that is pop music.”
