Geordie Greep's solo debut "The New Sound" is a delirious cocktail of Brazilian tropicália, jazz-funk, and showtunes, where thirty musicians across two continents help craft a theatrical universe of desperate characters and wild fantasies. The Black Midi frontman plays ringmaster to this brass-heavy carnival of sound, delivering his signature speak-sing vocals with cartoonish flair as he guides listeners through seedy bars and strange museums, walking a tightrope between the absurd and the profound.
