Black Midi have confirmed details of their debut album, ‘Schlagenheim’.

The south London band will release their first record on June 21 via Rough Trade Records. The album was recorded with producer Dan Carey, who has previously worked with the likes of Kate Tempest, Bat For Lashes, and Bloc Party.

Although the record has been confirmed to clock in at nine tracks and 43 minutes, none of the track titles will be revealed until the day of release.

The band have previously released four tracks – debut release ‘bmbmbm’, ‘Speedway’, ‘Crow’s Perch’, and ‘Talking Heads’. Reviewing ‘Speedway’ earlier this year, NME wrote: “Black Midi have little interest in polishing up their less-palatable sides. For that reason, they remain one of the country’s most beguiling prospects.”
