- Black Country, New Road performs Track X at The Mercury Prize 2021. UK viewers can watch more from the Mercury Prize 2021 on BBC iPlayer
snorkel really puts it all together
Agreed.. should've been out front
That’s so funny
dude he’s actually so talented to be able to play that and sing at the same time ive tried so hard but its genuinely so difficult
fr, ive been playing guitar and singing for like 2 or 3 years and i cant get that rhythm down
@@snuggys56 dude i tried to a couple days ago and it the timing is so weird
it's doable with enough practice, i kinda did, of course nowhere near him though
When I realized the guitarist and singer were the same guy it blew my mind. The track x riff isn’t really tricky on its own but I can’t sing it for the life of me
Isaac, I miss you in my ears, man.
P O O P E D
Certified Seymour Skinner moment
Leaves
Me too
I read this as a guitar tuning
man UK is great, they still acknowledge acts like them on bigger platforms
:)
Deciding not to give that audience of haircuts PTSD with any of your other tracks was very generous BCNR.
I’d imagine all the other songs on the record would be too long
@@SkellyLake Even the song that they played is "too long," that's why they played this shorter version of it. Not the kind of music I'd normally expect on there, though, so it's actually great that they even got nominated and got to play.
"PTSD" for what?
Unlike a certain other band in 2019
@@kdphotos4691 the black midi performance
the kinda band that's so good ppl start applauding when everyone starts playing
Winners in my opinion , a brilliant debut album , keep on keeping on , amazing musicians that are only going to get more amazing , look forward to your Norwich gig in December .
I wish that I could go to that gig, but unfortunately I'm a bit far away from Norwich, since I live in Argentina, lol. I'm hoping for a Latin-American tour, though. It'd be great.
yes bro waterfront
@@sangresolida shame
Mental health issues they are invisible for the most part outside you might appear to be fine while inside your everything but fine struggling to maintain
Damn so sad that Isaac left, but I totally get why it had to be done. One needs to address their demons before it consumes them. Hopefully he can do just that and find himself in a way better creative position in the next five years. I was looking forward to seeing them tour their new album coming out on Friday, but at least we have video archives!
New album is incredible as well, glad it got released.
@@71hammyman ah it's amazing, I'm loving it. I have listened to it already a few times running from library to library this morning. Beautiful stuff. Can't get enough of "Good Will Hunting," and "The Place Where He Inserted The Blade." So far I think they've managed to outdo their debut which is phenomenal.
@@nusoul yeah I'd say they've definitely outdone their first one, didn't think that would be possible, album of the year already for me! 'Good will hunting' is boss
I love your point of view so much!!!
Honestly. I don't mean to be offensive but the lyrics were the weakest part of the band in my opinion. Instrumentals are why I repeat songs and vocals sound great but the lyrics I actively tune it out because if I start actually hearing the words being said... I cry or cringe. I don't know. Lyrics are mostly trash anyway. I should just read a book if I feel this way.
literally the future of music
And also the past, in a way. Art is funny like that :P But I agree, for sure. They're a great band, both live and in the studio, and they have a lot of talent & potential to create even greater stuff.
Black Midi too
welp
@@al_wax they still exist tbf. There's no reason to believe they can't continue on strong
@@finestjellybeansrawlol9486 only time will tell, no need to be such a shill
they as a whole created pure magic together.
So sad Isaac left the band, but I wish the best for him
Don’t need an award anyways lads, phenomenal debut from a very exciting band. Long may it continue
Jinxed it
@@sean.anthony6044 be thankful for the 2 masterpieces we already have. BC,NR forever
@@aidxn97 I am more than thankful. And BCNR still lives on and it will continue for longer I just saw the irony in the comment. I’m really excited to see how the band moves forward after losing their vocalist, if any band can make it work I think it would be this one. Bittersweet
Dont worry they'll win this year for sure!
@@alexy8520 AOTY so far 100%
The backing vocals remind me of a few tracks off of Fleer Foxes’ Shore and bring tears to my eyes
Yeah and the arcade fires earlier stuff, I saw them at reading festival just after they had released neon bible and they had hauled that huge ass church organ with them just for the intro to intervention. Was an awesome show, really get similar vibes from these guys!
1:09 what compelled Issac to say pooped instead of slept
Poo funny
Shit innit?
he probably did that without warning anyone
@@lalalooah you can tell that, because you can see Charlie and Luke laughing right after he says it
Isn't the original line 'fucked'? Probably was told to keep it PG
Nothing against Arlo Parks. Her Mercury Prize is well deserved. 'Collapsed into Subeams' is quite a great record.
In fact, this year's shorlist was truly stacked! Lots of great stuff were taken into account as well as snubbed (yes, I meant black midi).
Still 'For the First Time' is the best album of the year.
In a way, yes. It's a really "human" album, I think, so we can all relate to it in some way or another. I'm really excited for what they're going to release next.
pretty sure the black midi record was released just too late to even be eligible. gonna have to wait another year to see if they were snubbed or not.
@@enzosuname I think it was on time to be considered. But it was just overlooked.
@@condimentking414 Applications closed May 12th, Cavalcade released May 26th. So unless I'm missing something and albums that are still unreleased to the public can be submitted the timeline doesn't match up.
Cavalcade is the best but for the first time can be second
incredible vocalist
He sounds terrible
@@Ivanisasi incorrect .
@@lawky4743 update: I fcking love them now, they really grew on me and Ants is a masterpiece, too bad he left the band
@@Ivanisasi lets gooo
@@Ivanisasidamn, what an epic redemption arc 😂
Only now noticed "I told you I loved you in front of black midi"...
lead singer gives me wert from over the garden wall vibes. great band
Such an exciting band
BC,NR friends forever :')
Steve Reich is happy listening to this
SECOND BEST SLINT TRIBUTE ACT
?
@@trent7567 its a line from science fair
?
Slint didn’t try to be wacky.
true but BCNR does take alot of inspo from slint
Didn't know that Hector Bellerin could play saxophone
could unironically picture hector listening to this band
Hahah if hector was a half a foot taller
Truly inspiring, the fact that music with a bit of substance and interest can get even this much attention nowadays is really good news. Thank you all for existing!
Favourite band. Love these guys so much
incredible debut album, looking forward to what’s in store next!
oooohhhh, its a better one!
Band / album of the year for me. Really looking forward to what they do next
"where we pooped as kids" lmao
Today finally watched it and I'm feeling happy now
Beautiful performance!!
I told my friend Jack that it could have been yOUUUUUUuiUUu
Actually phenomenal
just lovely
God they’re hot
Really loved dis
良すぎる
lindeza! ♡
So proud
isaac looks like a fortnite skin
Winners in mine and my sons opinion, a great debut album, awesome band of musicians, looking forward to the Norwich gig .
Yes! FTFT is an amazing album. I can't wait to hear what they do next; they're shaping up to become one of the greatest bands of this generation.
Track X es una canción hermosa y brillante y esta versión es tan armónica y poderosa. Mucha energía femenina. Los quiero mucho. Un día van a venir a México, estoy segura. 🧡
Yo sueño con verlos también aquí en México y desgañitarme con los "ooooohhhhs" de ésta, que es, mi canción favorita del 2021 junto con "John L" de black midi.
@@condimentking414 no me había puesto a pensar que efectivamente todos cantaríamos! Ojalá pase pronto.
Sii, ojalá vengan a. México 🧡🧡
A México y a Argentina! Tienen que hacer una gira latinoamericana, sería genial
ojala vengan a peru! estaria bacan una gira latinoamericana
Irregular groove is comfortable🖤
Sounds like a cryptic crossword clue
@@YodasPapa
Yes. This lyrics is a natural word and spoke Introspectively.🎵
thank you comment.
@@YodasPapa Makes perfect sense to me
@@dansaunders1655 No, it does make sense, but it literally has a lot of the features of a cryptic clue. The word "irregular" is usually a clue that there's an anagram. So in this case you'd be looking for a synonym of "comfortable" that is also an anagram of "groove".
It would be an incredible comment if there existed a word that met such criteria, but alas.
@@YodasPapaclearly you've never experienced the joy of wearing a sweater that is perfectly oergvo
I'm so excited to see these lot in December fuckin great band
How was it?
@@SamuelMCox They had to cancel the rest of the 2021 dates because of illnesses in the band
@@winn1549 and then cancelled ALL of their tour dates because isaac left :(
@@tyde4610 Yeah :(
This is fucking magnificent.
I cried
the warmth of Morrissey's voice😊
Brilliant
something something british engineering, something something tribute act
References references references
Ah pity I never got to see them down here in Australia.
Some say the snorkel writes all the songs
This reminds of a band from my youth, anathallo.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Out-of-the-ordinary
if they played basketball shoes they’d have won smh 🙄🤚
they were nominated for “For the first time”. I don’t think playing a song from an unreleased album would’ve made much sense.
I agree though but yeah, they were probably forced to play a song from FTFT
@@pipe That as well as the fact the songs nearly 15 minutes long
:o
lewis senpai
Great! 🔥🎧😬
i love black country new road it's so hot, it's so me
3:37 THE GONG
Isaac trying out the Lorenzo von Matterhorn?
eu te amo isaac
shocked how critically underrated this album actually is. i guess it makes sense that it didn’t win, still need to listen to the arlo parks record... but yeah this and cavalcade are easily my album of the year picks.
also very interesting pick for a performance, i guess it is their most popular song on Spotify right now. but to me it’s the strangest on the album, much more minimal. glad they pulled off this full band version though, sounds incredible. if being the next arcade fire is their goal, they seem like they’re very much in reach of that.
They played this song because, well, they weren't going to play Sunglasses or Athens, France in there, lol. I feel like this is their "poppiest" song, so it fits the place & the prize. However, the album should have won, in my opinion. Amazing stuff!
@@sangresolida yeah i guess not, but to be fair black midi did bmbmbm a couple years back, and Slowthai did run around stage with a making of Boris Johnson’s head. but that’s true, track x is probably their poppiest song despite its minimalism and its complexity. it’s also their shortest song, and i am sure trying to play any of their other songs may be asking for a bit too much time, not sure how that works. but still a great performance nonetheless.
I think there’s a simpler reason for why they picked this song - it’s their newest one. I believe this is the song that was arranged most recently compared to the other ones on the album, so I think they may have thought that this reflects them most as a band.
@@arseniy1329 An even simpler reason is that it's their debut album song that most resembles their next album's songs. They even mentioned how Track X was the direction they wanted to go after the debut. And I mean, AFUT tells you all you need to know.
Kind of the British Arcade Fire.. couldn’t love this band more!
We're the hell is Isaac wood ( costume change ) the world doesnt change thou we can ( like a caterpillar into a butterfly, stay strong ,within your memories we wait
I'm trying really hard to enjoy this song as a whole, but goddamm that guitar riff is worth 1 million dollars
what do you dislike about the rest of the song?
We will miss Isaac :(
where we pooped as kids 😭
Keyboard: Alana Haim
Bass: Lady Gaga
Violín: Natalia Dyer
Fuck yes
Pooped can really obliterates a vibe
This is the pinnacle of british engineering
How do you listen to something original then shamelessly go and copy a worthless comment from someone else.
👌🏾
Does anyone know the guitar Issac is using?
it's a Sigma acoustic with a humbucker pickup installed
debieron haber ganado
Brilliant ! Well, We all know why this did not Win ?
The snorkel?
WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CALIFORNIA
Brilliant. Possibly the best. Snokels are quite to wear when you perform. It must have been really hot on the neck and face. Totally bum right.
Disappointed he's not wearing flippers ;)))))
Onwards and upwards is the only way for this lot.
🎙️🥰❤️💌
Aleluia que a música começa a melhorar.
kkkkkkk essa música é perfeita
Vai ouvir ed sheeran bro
censoring yourself with "poop"....... still unsure why he went with this
Won't be the same without the main player.
does somebody know what kind of bass that is?
a fender precision I think
@@josswilliams6564 sorry but definitely not
@@kutteistheking She said she plays with a fender precision in the black country interview with Anthony Fantano which was about 4 months ago. She also said that it's too big for her and is giving her back pain and so she said she was looking for a new bass.
Should’ve won :(
what won?
@@alechats5184 Arlo Parks
@@The09Ben I felt like everyone nominated deserved awards
@@eastplnes5158 I agree tbh
@@The09Ben Man, Arlo Parks cool but I mean BC NR, next level stuff man
Lovely censor
awesome band. Sucks the singer left :/
Really curious as to why Isaac chose the particular lyric change and wore the snorkles. Was it just a matter of wanting to stand out / be funny? Seems like odd decisions to make given the situation (Formal setting, lots of first time listeners etc)
@@Aldoo97 I'm not sure why you feel annoyed but I appreciate the explanation none the less. That is a great gesture and I'm happy that I now know why.
@@Aldoo97 if... if you're annoyed - then don't explain it?
@@Janruzalem he was probably annoyed from the intent of the question. That Isaac just wanted to stand out and be funny, that he lacks and deeper meaning with what he does.
Regardless no one would know this story and we appreciate his explanation! :)
@@Aldoo97 is this true? how do you know
it was on tv so probably can't say fucked
Kinda wished they played a different song but I get why they chose this since its the only song on the album under 5 minutes. I love the studio version but this live version is kinda boring
Every other song on the album would have been way too inaccessible to play at the Mercury prize.
How's a band called Black Country, New Road from London?
They got their name from a random band name generator
@@inside1283 it was a wiki random generator or i might be wrong. one of the two
@@retnugnahte same shit different tin mate
@@inside1283 true lmao
Mate ,you have a snorkel on your head!
Who is better, Black Country or black midi? Vote now!!
I think I enjoy Black Country just a bit more.
BCNR for me but i still think Black Midi is great
LEAVE KANYE OUT OF THIS
Kinda SLINT sounding
"2nd best slint tribute band"
Oh dear
Ngl this is pretty much how the band sounds
great band. zero drip though
wrong
Imagine being this wrong
Okay off-white enjoyer
100% drip, virgil and kanye took inspiration from isaac’s style
The anti-drip is the new drip
Can this guy sing?
he's fuckin around, its funny man
Gets old fast
Mate why are u wearing a snorkel your moist
its a tribute to his grandfather who drowned in a swimming pool
Nice Arcade Fire impression...
Heavily influenced by Arcade Fire with a touch of Fleet Foxes but pseudo absurdist horse wank.
Try not to use words you don’t understand
@@charliesealvids
They're singing Roccoco
@@thefootballgeek2345 Damn, I've heard a lot of people make comparisons for this band. But I've never heard anyone compare them to arcade fire or fleet foxes.
@@meltedsnowman9637 The band compared themselves to Arcade Fire in one interview and Fleet Foxes isn’t too far off considering the more acoustic, dreamy indie pop direction of Track X.
Couldn't have put it better myself. I often wondered what a fentanyl OD would feel like. I'm guessing this.
