I Got Greeped
Eighteen oysters with Geordie Greep, the Black Midi frontman turned lounge lizard
The first thing people ask when you tell them you’ve interviewed Geordie Greep—besides, “who???”—tends to be: Is the Black Midi guy as crazy as he seems?
You can understand why they might wonder this. The 25-year-old Londonite’s singing voice sounds like an old-timey detective speaking in an unplaceable accent somewhere between Irish sheep-herder and Katharine Hepburn. On his recent solo debut The New Sound, Greep writes from the perspective of a musty-but-cocky barfly who cannot stop talking about cum and pussy to anyone he can pay to listen.
