“The New Sound” is a whirlwind of a record, one that feels like the creation of a man untethered. The first solo effort from former Black Midi frontman Geordie Greep, it’s unlike anything else you’ve heard this year. Latin-inspired passages will give way to progressive rock buildups and turn your head upside down in the process, all with Greep acting as crazed ringleader. It’s not music to let fade into the background but it’s possibly the most fun you’ll have with any album from 2024 - just listen to lead single “Holy, Holy” for proof.
