Dawn of Midi

Dawn of Midi performs their critically-acclaimed genre-defying album "Dysnomia" in its entirety.

"Something totally unprecedented " Pitchfork
"Stellarat a loss for words " Spin

Listenable and insane. That's the sound Dawn of Midi (piano, bass, drums) spent years shaping, culminating in their most mesmerizing work yet: Dysnomia. In many ways, it's the first record that truly reflects the trio's critically acclaimed live show, a test of endurance and trust that involves performing their compositions note-for-note without ever appearing the least bit predictable. If anything, Dawn of Midi's sets are as red-blooded and rhythmic as a seamlessly mixed DJ set, casting spells on crowds in the same way the group's favorite experimental and electronic acts have for decades. Which explains why The New Yorker's music critic, Sasha Frere-Jones, wrote "an hour flew by in what seems like minutes" after witnessing their high-wire act last year, and Radiolab host Jad Abumrad added "[I've] seriously never seen anything like these guys."
