<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/kokoko/kokoko-fongola">KOKOKO! - Fongola</a>

Available on Rough Trade Exclusive Yellow Vinyl with Bonus Disc, limited to 1200 copies.

Inspired by Kinshasa's tumultuous sounds: the tomato can drum pattern of petrol sellers, little bottles of varnish bouncing in rhythm, the cigarette sellers with their elastics sounds, KOKOKO!’s ‘Fongola’ is direct, raw punk with a heavy groove: electric and rolling. All of its members, who played for the first time together at a massive block party, come from different tribes and were shaped by their grandparents (the first generation of "modern citizens”) who would gather at night and sing tribal chants.

The album produced by Dan Carey is scratchy, intense and discordant. Roaring with riffs, locked in rhythm section and a truly unique vocal make black midi stand head and shoulders above all in 2019. Think Radiohead split into atoms and then fused back together with spirit of Battles and 90's era Touch and Go Records. black midi - Geordie Greep (vocals / guitar), Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin (vocals / guitar), Cameron Picton (vocals / bass), and Morgan Simpson (drums) - have a dynamic energy, playing as a musical unit that’s constantly in a state of flux and development. Schlagenheim was recorded with Speedy Wunderground producer Dan Carey, who the band praises for his quick, unfussy approach. black midi laid down eight of the record’s nine tracks in just five days. The process was one of refining and rebuilding tracks around the initial structures. Five hour jams would sometimes yield a riff that then became a few bars of a song. As anyone who’s been lucky enough to catch black midi live over recent months will testify, black midi’s songs are slippery creatures.
