The queue wraps around the corner outside Sydney's Metro Theatre, every ticket long gone before doors even open. The crowd is here to see Geordie Greep for whom predictability has never been part of his vocabulary, whether fronting Black Midi or now forging his own path with his debut solo album, The New Sound. The lights drop and the screech of racing car tyres ring through the theatre for several minutes. It's an offbeat introduction that stretches the anticipation before Greep and his six-piece band finally emerge to an enthusiastic reception.

Geordie Greep is heading to Australia this July and August, bringing his debut solo album The New Sound to local stages for the first time. Best known as the unpredictable focal point of Black Midi, Greep now steps further into his own orbit with a record that widens the possibilities rather than narrowing them. The New Sound thrives on the absence of boundaries. Built with more than thirty session musicians across two continents, the album stretches from Brazil to Europe, with half of it recorded alongside Brazilian players responding only to demos, unaware of Greep’s previous work.
