Selected praise for Black Country, New Road:
“extraordinary abilities to find collective spirit through experimenting with pop music, free jazz and post-rock” - Loud & Quiet
“one of the most exciting bands of Britain’s experimental new breed.” - Mojo
“traditional guitar bands are dead: in 2020, long live the raucous, provocative, sprawling collective… their live shows have been thrilling, packed affairs.” – The Observer
"Black Country, New Road, a seven-strong unit of musicians, create rich and foreboding narratives of social and sexual anxieties, thickened by saxophone and violin that twist into horrific knots of noise over multiple, carefully sequenced musical passages.” - The Independent
