Geordie Greep - Road to The New Sound (Live Recordings 2024-08-07 / 2024-10-06) / Bootleg Download

Alright so. Greep's solo endeavors were something I truly had not been expecting to be a thing so soon. He had always been my favorite black midi member, a vast number of my favorite songs from the band being mainly written and driven by him, but the break up of the band was something really unforeseen, being widely known from a livestream that had small responses in the form of tweets, but even more so was the fact that Greep would announce his solo album within a few days from that.

Greep had done a couple of sets before that, in March at the Windmill, along side his Swing Boys lineuo. But regardless, the build up to The New Sound was exhilarating, gig after gig right after the release of the first official single Geordie Greep managed to show everyone that he, in fact, was shaping his music to new horizons, blending all his influences in one place and delivering outstanding sets. In the midst of all this, and coming from someone who lives in south america, the black midi discord has been an outstanding source for all Greep related. While lurking in there one was able to see the full recordings shared week after week, delivering something wonderful to the eyes of people who couldn't manage to experience it first hand. In that vein I extend my hand, figuratively, as a thank you to all the wonderful users who shared these recordings (my heart goes out to all of you).

I have had a deep fascination towards this live period from Greep, towards all these songs and jams and his ever evolving guitar skills shining brighter and brighter the more he went into performing with these different ensembles, but more often than not what was shared were full unedited wav or video recordings of these gigs, so it became more of an inconvenience to go back to favorite moments or particular favorite tracks, so what I bring here is what I consider a sort of small nothing input to the community of simply editing and splitting up these recordings, as well as adding artwork to all of them, to the gigs that took place up to the release week of The New Sound. 

I have done some slight work on an attempt to clean up the audio as much as possible, within my tight schedule due to work and other life things, as well as making cover artworks using Toshio Saeki's wonderful pieces (which play really really well with the concepts of lust and obsession that are shown on the album), and I bring it all to be shared here. All exported on flac to avoid gaps between tracks (which for some gigs is justified and for others not so much but alas). 

I hope this brightens up your day as much as possible. 

Thank you oh so very much to the black midi discord for these wonderful recordings and to Geordie Greep for the wonderful sounds brought to the world due to The New Sound.
