      Black Midi, Black Country, New Road [outside]

      Is it not humiliation enough that these bands, fellow Gen-Z internet babies, have lapped me on my dreams, achieving indie fame from uncompromisingly progressive art-rock? Must I also be tasked with explaining the distinctions between the two British exports to curious millennial (or worse) readers? Okay, fine. Both started in a sorta moody post-punk realm, but now Black Midi churns out post-ironic cabaret-prog. Black Country, New Road’s style is more bleeding heart chamber music. There, done. Let’s make fun of their fans.: The wardrobes of Midi fans are 83% composed of clothing stolen from their grandparents. They gather in gangs outside Ed Sheeran concerts and trot together in an 11/8 time signature. Ask how their day was and they might respond “Homeric.”: BCNR fans are a sensitive sort. They’ll draw up plans to start a Marxist commune with friends met through Animal Crossing, but are afraid to share the Google doc. In therapy this week, there will be an earnest discussion as to whether Kanye can “heal.”
