Geordie Greep

The excitement continues with a set by the musical visionary Geordie Greep, who’s making his return to the OFF Festival in August, joined by a different lineup than before. In 2019 he played in Katowice with Black Midi, which was hailed as “the most progressive band in London.” Six years later, similar superlatives are being applied to his first solo album, The New Sound, where jazz and prog rock collide with the sound of a Latin-American big band. Recorded in Brazil and England with a team of over 30 musicians, the LP is impressive in its breadth and sound. Critics have praised it as “fascinatingly enthralling” and wondered how material this intense is going to sound live. We’ll find out at the OFF Festival
