Cameron Picton later confirmed the news (also via Reddit) in a tweet she later deleted. “We had agreed not to say anything about the ‘breakup’ so last night I was just as shocked as everyone else but maybe in a different way,” she wrote. “I guess sometimes all you can say is lol.”
Picton continued: “Anyway! I’m going to start sessions for my own record soon. I hope it’s good, hopefully it’s great!”
Several members of Black Midi have embarked on solo projects this year. Greep formed a band called Geordie Greep and The Swing Boys, while Picton started a project called Camera Picture and released a CD album titled 44m50sMeanwhile, Matt Kwasniewski posted a independent individual in March.
