Schlagenheim is the debut studio album by English rock band Black Midi, released on 21 June 2019 through Rough Trade Records.[3] The band recorded the majority of the album over a five-day period with producer Dan Carey at his studio in South London.[3] Throughout its recording, the band made the conscious decision not to replicate their live set, embellishing their four-piece setup with synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, banjos and organs.

Schlagenheim received praise from music critics, being nominated for the 2019 Mercury Prize[4] and appearing inside the top-ten of several year-end lists. It also peaked at number 43 on the UK Albums Chart.
