[DID NOT ATTEND: April 25, 2024] Black Country, New Road / Camera Picture
I was vaguely intrigued when Black Country, New Road first came out (NPR music loved them). I mean this blurb from 2021 was amazing sounding
the new band I’m most excited to see when they come back is a group of U.K. art-school kids called Black Country, New Road. Their 2019 single “Sunglasses” is a 10-minute swirl of post-punk, jazz, long blurted spoken-word passages and frenzied klezmer freak-outs. It’s a wild song, and it must be incredible to take in live.
And then, maybe I was getting ready to g to a U.S. show at Johnny Brenda’s, when
On 31 January 2022, lead vocalist and guitarist Isaac Wood announced his sudden departure from the band four days before the release of Ants From Up There via the band’s Instagram, citing struggles with his mental health. This resulted in the cancelling of the band’s planned first US tour.
