Black Midi is an experimental rock band hailing from London, UK. The band members first crossed paths while studying at The BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology in Croydon, UK. It was in 2017, upon their graduation, that they officially formed the band and began their musical journey.
Known for their unique sound and unconventional approach to music, Black Midi has quickly gained recognition within the industry. Their music pushes boundaries and challenges traditional genres, making them a standout presence in the contemporary music scene.
With their innovative style and undeniable talent, Black Midi continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Their distinct blend of rock influences combined with experimental elements sets them apart as a truly groundbreaking force in modern music.

Rough Trade is a multinational label that was started by Geoff Travis in 1976 as a London record-shop. It quickly grew into an independent label and distributor, collaborating with notable labels such as 4AD, Factory Records, and One Little Indian. The label's catalogue numbering system for singles/EPs included prefixes like RT### and RTT###CD for different formats. Albums were numbered sequentially as ROUGH### with extensions for different formats.In the early 1990s, Rough Trade faced financial difficulties after expanding into the US market. The US branch was shut down and the German branch ended up in the Zomba Music Group. One Little Indian provided financing and took over the label in the UK, retaining ownership of key releases like A.R. Kane albums. Geoff Travis eventually regained control of Rough Trade around 1999–2000 and re-launched it alongside Tugboat Records.

black midi return with a new 12” featuring Sweater and 7-eleven. Both tracks were recorded with Speedy Wunderground’s DanCarey during the same period that resulted in Schlagenheim, and Sweater was the last of the tracks recorded during those sessions. Sweater opens with minimalistic instrumentation before bursting with turbulent guitar and percussion. Available for the first time on 12”.
